Would it be possible for the gcc developers to add that information?
I mean with a special option, like -g3 means include macro information.

Alternatively would it be possible to share code for those methods with
Gdb, as with the bfd library?

Creating variable objects using internals wasn't so hard for vectors but
it gets a bit more tricky with lists.
