Well, there is the DWARF standards document, then there is the debug
info gcc/g++ generates, which is in many ways somewhat similar, but
as part of the overall linux conspiracy to make the lives of developers
who work on debuggers a living hell, gcc often deviates in interesting
ways (sez this debugger developer :-).
