As a follow up to this proposal, I have opened an enhancement request in
the gcc bugzilla at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41130 .

A first patch implementing the generation of the .debug_gnu_index is
attached there. It's complete as far as the functionalities are concerned
(modulo the possible bugs) but it lacks tests for now. I will update it
with deja gnu tests soon.

I have also put the wording of the proposal in the wiki at
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugGNUIndexSection .

Thanks.
