In addition, Meissner wrote a program that allows generation
of 3rd-eye style ("ecoff") symbols. It works by having the compiler
emits coff-style debugging info hidden by comments,
assembling with the mips as, and then running a post-processor
that read the comments from the assembler file, and writes
ecoff symbols into the .o file.

This post-processor should be available on the OSF version of
gcc, available from foobar.colorado.edu. It hasn't been
merged into the FSF distribution because Stallman thinks
it is a kludge (which of course it is). Furthermore, it
does almost nothing for g++. Various people have talked
about possible solutions; I might do something about it,
depending on time and funding.
