As I understand the main problem is that fixing dbxout in trunk won't
help to build stage1 compiler.
Simply build stage1 without debug info on AIX then.
Btw, you have to start fixing the bug at some point ... (we can
backport to 4.8 and 4.9). Of course dbxout.c is in kind of
deep-freeze unmaintained state.
I don't think we ever encouraged work-arounds for broken host compilers
if that requires substantial work.
It's always depended on the amount of work involved. We have to do far
less catering to broken host compilers these days.
I wouldn't lose any sleep if we just truncated as these stab strings get
really big. I don't think we want to much too much effort into dbxout.c :-)
