Unfortunately, ICC does not emit DW_AT_object_pointer. It outputs only 
what I've previously posted.

I can certainly understand that (and I agree): I was just throwing that 
out as an option. Afterall, there is a bigger picture (for you) to 
consider -- I'm just a linux-centered, who-cares-about-anything-else 
hacker. O:-)

Tom has suggested to me to conform and start posting bigger bits of the 
patches. Unless I hear anything to the contrary, I'll consider this a 
general approval of the approach, and I will attempt to submit any 
outstanding isolated patches before posting the whole (ginormous) patch 
which implements everything.

I've also added a page to the wiki about running the test suite on 
non-gcc compilers (specifically ICC and RealView). It's not complete in 
the sense that I think some careful Dejagnu configury and/or compiler 
wrapper trickery might produce better (or more meaningful) results, but 
it's a start.

For example, I completely ignore the whole multilib issue. In my case, I 
was really just interested in the C++ DWARF implementations of these 
compilers, and I believe the setup is sufficient for this purpose. In a 
real world scenario, it probably isn't. I hope that people who 
remember/know more about this stuff add their two bits to the page.
