Now that -m64 + LLD + MINGW works, the question is obvious.
The background idea is of course to allow the use of GDB under

This is visible if you compare dmd.backend.dwarf and
dmd.backend.cgcv and the naive idea which would be to replace
all the calls starting with 'cv8_' with their "dwarf_"
equivalent won't work (let's say to test in a first time, later
a new compiler switch could be added to select the debug info
format).
Actually i expected an answer with someone with expertise in the
object formats and debug infos, for example @Walter Bright or
@Rainer Shutze, what do you think ?
