Would you care to elaborate on how it would break anything? They're already
easily removable with -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-unwind-tables. The
problem is just that it's impossible to remove them and still have working
debugging (unless you want to revert to using stabs or something and adding
back a frame pointer...). My request is that it be possible to move them to a
strippable/non-mapped section to use them purely as debugging information and
not treat them as "part of the program".
