The only issue I can see is that someone who uses an older versions
of Mac OS X but don't have
access to the newer GDB because building Apple's version of GDB is
a little harder than
building than gcc. If you provide a gdb version which is runnable
on All of Mac OS X,
this becomes a little mute, like the new cctools and stuff.
I think you mean "moot", and it isn't because anyone else that wants
stabs debugging would still need to change their debugger. Now, most
people use dwarf, but the problem is still there. If people think it
wouldn't be that much of a problem then I'm all about getting this
patch in.
