Hi,
with AIX 7, the xcoff binary file format now supports dwarf2. This is a
huge step forward as the previous debugging format was a varation of stabs.
But (and there is always a but) this is not fully standard dwarf2 as the
section names differ. The first two patches deal with that in the most
elegant way I could figure.
The last two patches simply add the dwarf2 support for xcoff.
Manually tested on AIX.
No regressions on gnu/linux x86-64.
Ok for trunk ?
Tristan.
