definitely not, see:
	[patch] [2/2] Discontiguous PSYMTABs (psymtabs->symtabs by addrmap)
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-04/msg00533.html
and
	[patch] [0/2] Discontiguous PSYMTABs
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-04/msg00531.html
	"and the later patch to fix the regression was non-DWARF2
	incompatible"


gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges3.S contains a comment
	"Without this directive GAS will not emit DWARF2 unless" ...

which seems unrelated to the STABS output it produces.  Just the gdb/ part of
the patch cannot be easily reverted to try reducing the patch and verifying it
still FAILed.  All three gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges*.S contain the same first part,
this is how the "DWARF2" comment got it.


Thanks,
Jan
