} Out of curiosity, did you try running the whole GDB testsuite
} outputting compressed debug info?

Hmm, interesting idea.  I thought of it, but the tests I was looking
at all used assembler to generate the debug sections, so it wasn't
feasible.  But I'm guessing other tests use an actual compiler and
linker.  Now that I've got gold outputting the new format (just
submitted to binutils this morning), I can play around with this.  I
don't think it needs to hold up consideration of this patch, though.
