Two possible function stabs patches

OK, so I have not one, but two patches!

The first one is less interesting.  It uses the language's name for the 
function, unless it's a C++ function, in which case it uses the 
(mangled) assembler name.  It'll give a stab like

         .stabs  "__ZN3bar3fooEv:F(0,1)",36,0,2,__ZN3bar3fooEv
or
         .stabs  "foo:F(0,1)",36,0,2,foo.11

The second one uses the 'printable name' for the function.  That is, 
for C it's just the name, and for C++ it's the demangled version of its 
name.  I am not at all sure it'll work, because it gives stabs like:

         .stabs  "int bar::foo():F(0,1)",36,0,2,__ZN3bar3fooEv

which I suspect can't be parsed.

Could someone help me test these?  It needs a machine that can use 
stabs and on which the GDB testsuite doesn't give too many false 
positives.
