GCC, GDB v6 and -fomit-frame-pointer

Does the new DWARF2 call frame in gdb 6.0 support mean programs compiled 
with GCC and -fomit-frame-pointer can now be debugged? That would be 
great as -fomit-frame-pointer provides quite a performance boost on x86.

Assuming this is possible, what GCC and binutils versions would be 
needed to take advantage of this?

Cheers,
Alex.
