If one was going to switch to dwarf, what would be the better dwarf to
pick?  Dwarf 1, or 2?  I ask because quite a few different groups
(processor abi groups) seem to picking up dwarf 1, and no one seems to
be behind 2 (except Linux and sgi).

I'm interested in user experiences with dwarf 2 systems, (sparc v9
linux, iris6) with gdb and how well it holds up in relationship to
stabs.
