Thanks for responding. It looks like we should just use the "-g" and be
happy about it.
But it's mysterious that the same gdb sources config'd for (e.g.) native
use CAN read the stabs info and the gdb sources config'd for cross-ARM
can't. Reading symbol names & locations, debug info, etc from an elf
file [should be] a common utility across all targets. Is it not?
R.

-g uses DWARF-2, a more modern debug info format.
