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.
