Room for 4 million lines is "far too restrictive"?  That's over two 
orders of
magnitude larger than the largest file in gcc/*.c, including a number 
that are
considered too large.   No human-written file would be that big, and line
numbers have little meaning in a computer-generated file.

But if you have an alternative solution that carries column numbers 
through to
the debugging information, that's ok.
