I did (in parallel) some work on the dwarf2 support. I have 20+ patches to
make it really work. Those patches bring :

- type support, including forward declarations (which really requires a two
pass parser, hence a major rewrite of the code)
- function's variables & parameter support
- line information is ok (except for inlined functions)
- a couple of bug fixes from current code

I'd suggest hence not to apply this patch and to wait for the full solution
(likely sometimes this week-end).
