It should be available for public review in 3-4 months. We need to do a thorough review of the draft document, and tidy up a few loose ends, but it's pretty much done. I see no reason why you couldn't go ahead and implement what's in 121221.1 as an extension under a (!dwarf_strict) guard. Unless it would really confuse old debuggers, I don't think you'd need to guard it with -gdwarf-5. -cary
