Hi Hans-Peter,

  Sorry about the delay in replaying to your patch submission.  (My
email feed has been dead for the last few days...).  Anyway I have
looked over your patch and it is fine.  (Even if the standard is not
completely clear on this point.  It never actually says that debug
abbrevs for multiple compilation units can exist within the same
section (although this is implied), and even the picture in appendix 2
only shows a single set of abbreviations being shared by mutliple
compilation units, rather than multiple sets of abbreviations.

I have applied the patch to the repository.

Cheers
	Nick
