I would like to use gcc and g++ for development on SVR4 platforms.
Unfortunately, this may not be possible, since g++ doesn't emit DWARF
symbols for debugging.

So, I would like to know what my options are for getting g++ to emit
DWARF.  Here's what I've thought of off the top of my head:

    (1) Modify g++ to do The Right Thing.

    (2) Pay someone to modify g++ to do The Right Thing.

    (3) Get g++ to emit a different kind of debugging info on SVR4 --
        STABS comes to mind.

Item (1) is listed only to show that I did think of it.  It is out of
the question because I lack the time (and also most likely the
expertise) for such an endeavor.

Item (2) is possible, but unfortuntely not very feasible at this time
due to budget constraints.

So I'm left with (3).  Someone did it for Solaris; Can it be done for
other SVR4 platforms?

Any comments welcome.
