Live Range Splitting goodbye?

Would anyone mind if I deleted the support for live range splitting?
That would remove the following fields from struct symbol, get rid of
a weird call to read_pc in symtab.c (!!), and a bunch of other stuff.
I believe the GCC code which would emit the sorts of STABS that turn
into these structures has never been contributed to the public sources
anyway.
struct symbol
{
...
/* Link to a list of aliases for this symbol.
Only a "primary/main symbol may have aliases. */
struct alias_list *aliases;
/* List of ranges where this symbol is active. This is only
used by alias symbols at the current time. */
struct range_list *ranges;
};
