Re: [avr-libc-dev] (Fwd) elf/dwarf support in WinAVR

Yes, this works just fine, (apart from some issues).

The reason for my request is a wish to make dwarf debug support more 
available, so users of avr-studio will not have to build gcc.

The dwarf debugging format does have some advantages over other debug 
formats, and I think the increased support and capabilities of 
avr-studio with dwarf support is enough to make some want to use dwarf.

I recently (Friday) downloaded gcc-3.4.0 and configured it with the 
options --target=avr --with-dwarf2.

And after a brief investigation of the debug information, I found that 
the .debug_frame section was missing, and that the bitfield information 
was somewhat odd.

Are these known issues?
Is any work being done to fix this?
