addr2line with stabs again

Oh it is a bug alright.  It may well have been fixed though as Fred FIsh 
has
been doing some work in this area.  Please could you try downloading the
latest binutils sources and trying them.  If that does not fix the
problem then please could you file a bug report ?

Cheers
