This patch doesn't include the proposed documentation for the feature. A
proposed feature can better be reviewed based on a patch with
documentation but no code than on one with code but no documentation.
This patch only appears to implement the feature for stabs output, without
explaining why. Is there some reason the approach shouldn't work for
DWARF2, which is generally preferred on GNU systems? (The explanation
might be that DWARF2 isn't used on your system, but you should still make
clear whether the approach would be applicable to other formats, even if
someone else is needed to do and test the work for them.)
