Some time ago there was an attempt to add the DWARF DW_AT_APPLE_* extensions to the file include/dwarf2.def.
The original patch email is here: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2012-09/msg00282.html the "patch committed" mail is here: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2012-10/msg00424.html which corresponds to binutils commit: 10fca301c7ea8362c086647ee8b4b6aa64ad3e67 However, the patch was reverted in binutils commit: 1f3de044c6f615326d31ba878dfcd7fdeee7765f which was an auto-merge from GCC to binutils. Am I correct to think that the include/* files are owned by GCC, and so the mistake here was not propagating the change to the GCC repository? I had a look on the mailing lists and couldn't find any mail suggesting this code was deliberately removed, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like to propose that we try again with this patch, unless there's any objection. If I'm right about the ownership then we first need the patch applied to GCC, after that I can apply it to binutils-gdb. I've included the patch I'm proposing we apply below. Any objections?
