- Subject: [rfa/dwarf-1/comments] update dwarf-1 status info
This patch updates the dwarfread.c info on the state of dwarf-1.
. gcc 3.4.0 has removed support for dwarf-1 (cheer!)
. i found another user bug report from 2003-07-25 about diab 4.4b.
. diab 5.0.1, released 2002-07-31, supports both dwarf-1 and dwarf-2
. absoft fortran 90/95, released 2001, supports both dwarf-1 and dwarf-2
Testing: this is a comment-only patch. I built gdb and that's it.
I plan to propose the obsoletion of dwarf-1 soon, but that proposal
is separate from this patch. This patch just provides current
information, without any opinions or policy judgements.
Okay to commit?

Some non-gcc compilers produce dwarf-1:
PR gdb/1179 was from a user with Diab C++ 4.3.
Other users have also reported using Diab compilers with dwarf-1.
On 2003-06-09 the gdb list received a report from a user
with Absoft ProFortran f77 which is dwarf-1.
