[GCC 4.8.1] Which section to emit, .eh_frame or .debug_section?

[Ramana]

Hi,

For C++ applications, on PPC, gcc v4.8.1 is generating the call frame
information in the .eh_frame section by default.

Could you please tell me why .eh_frame is being generated instead of
.debug_frame?
Also, the dwarf4 standard does not describe .eh_frame section. I
understand that by default gcc v4.8.1 emits dwarf4 debug information.

Thanks,
