The solution in this case would be to use the new debug format.  It's not
like this is a surprise change that zack has just sprung on everyone.

It is not everyone's job to support every platform.  If someone removes a
feature that everyone agrees should be removed (because it's no longer a
featuer, it's heavily buggy, or very obsolete), then it should eb the
responsibilty of that platform's maintainer to use the replacement
provided.  Otherwise, there is no point in having maintainers for various
targets except to fix bugs.  Part of platform maintenance is more than
just bug fixing, it's keeping the code and features up to date with gcc
proper.
