Perhaps it would be worth clarifying the status of support for .gdb_index.
It is the defacto standard for the index cache, but ada support is
broken ( https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29179 ).
Do we want to fix this?
Do we want to deprecate .gdb_index and start using .debug_names for the
index cache?
Or are we fine with the status quo (which then might need documenting)?
Thanks,
