I don't myself have plans to do this on a regular basis, but it would
be nice if it were something that GCC developers could do easily,
because (as you know) GCC's own testsuite doesn't catch most bugs in
debugging-info output.

This and the use of KFAIL (forcing me to upgrade dejagnu) were the
only major problems I had.
