  This units contains support for DWARF debug info generation.

  Currently a lot of code looks like being mergable with dbgstabs. This might
  change however when improved dwarf info is generated, so the stuff shouldn't be
  merged yet. (FK)

  The easiest way to debug dwarf debug info generation is the usage of
  readelf --debug-dump <executable>
  This works only with elf targets though.
