I don't understand what you are saying; the original text was:
* GDB works with GCC -feliminate-dwarf2-dups
GDB now works with programs compiled with -feliminate-dwarf2-dups.
You must use GCC 3.3.4 or later to use this option.
Where does this say that GDB supports versions of GCC?
> So about this version?
I'd prefer something like this:
* GDB works with GCC -feliminate-dwarf2-dups
GDB can now debug programs compiled with the -feliminate-dwarf2-dups
option to GCC 3.3.4 or later, as well as programs compiled with
proprietary compilers that produce similar debug information (a more
compact representation of DWARF-2 debug information using the
DW_FORM_ref_addr references).
That is what I meant in my previous message: put the user-oriented
information first, and the technicalities after that.
