I don't see any point to that.

I don't see why you don't just leave well enough alone and let
both sections be emitted.  If you're adamant against that, then
go ahead and teach gdb about gcc's encoding formats.

Of course, you do realize that gdb doesn't even use .debug_frame
yet, so there's no point in teaching it about the differences for
.eh_frame until the former is complete.
