I agree that these are both serious, though neither seems to rise to the 
level of the KDE issues, in that these both affect "only" debugging.  PR 
19523 affects only stabs, which I do not think is the default on any 
primary or secondary platform.

In other words, I see both of these as nice-to-haves, not absolutely 
must-haves.  However, I'll take a look at 21828 today, since I've been 
implicated in connection with that one, and I'll give Devang his 
requested chance to fix 19523.
