Re: different impl. Re: [Patch darwin, debug] make debug section starts explicit.

Please remind me what the goal is here?  A label at the beginning of

The goal is to make the section order for code & data the same with/ without debug. (i.e. debug sections to appear after)

Darwin requires a start label for each debug section because the offsets used for debug entities are section-local rather than relocs.
(without the patch that is being achieved by spitting out a section start for each debug section at the start of any asm file with debug enabled).

I'm just waiting for a reg-test to finish and then I have a second patch which moves the macinfo & other two section starts from dwarf2_init => dwarf2_finish ()

cheers,
Iain
