Ahh, yes, you are right. I guess that no-one has tried to
incporporate DWARF2 sections into the PE format before. I guess that,
for now you are going to have to add similar name-checking code to the
PE versions.
Ideally what we ought to do is give gcc some way to tell gas that
"this section is a debug section" and then gas could do the right
thing. Perhaps a new pseudo op ".debug_section <name>" ?
Cheers
Nick
