Why are you considering extending STABS at this point?
STABS support might very well be dropped altogether from GCC 4.9 or the next
release, people just should use DWARF[234] everywhere.

I find stabs is still helpful when you try to inspect the assembly output
by hand (or more precisely, by visual inspection in a text editor / pager).
