The latter, at least until we decide otherwise ;-). I should add that a new binutils release is a prerequisite for the configury in the gcc patch to trigger and enable DWARF 2 support. Also, a new gdb is required to do anything usefull (one gdb patch is still pending due to an AWOL COFF maintainer).
