Apple will be fixing this for Xcode 3.2.x, but realistically it extremely
unlikely
that the fix will be backported to Xcode 3.1.x or early so you are basically
cutting off all releases earlier than Snow Leopard from generating
complete debug code in gcc trunk. Currently we can't generate dSYM's for...

 libgcj.dylib
 libgcjgc.1.dylib
 libgfortran.3.dylib
 libgomp.1.dylib
 libobjc-gnu.2.dylib
libssp.0.dylib
 libstdc++.6.dylib

because of this issue. Our only other choice left will be to carry around
non-standard patches to avoid
this problem in distributed FSF gcc binaries for darwin.
