Thanks, I think I got the Stabs version working.
Do you have a heads up for the Dwarf2 version?

Funny enough, Stabs was much easier for me to get done than Dwarf2.
I am  currently looking at the function dwarf2_build_psymtabs_hard.
Does this sound right?

As far as I know, this will be the last step to the patch I'm
generating. Also, I will only have Stabs and Dwarf-2 working. Anyone
know of another debug format I should be looking into?

Any help would be appreciated,
Bob Rossi
