Just as a note, here's what I'd _prefer_ to be able to do with all of
the elf targets (at least).

/* ??? Move all SDB stuff into separate header file.  */
#undef  SDB_DEBUGGING_INFO

#define DBX_DEBUGGING_INFO
#define DWARF2_DEBUGGING_INFO

#undef  PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE
#define PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE DWARF2_DEBUG

#undef  SUBTARGET_ASM_DEBUGGING_SPEC
#define SUBTARGET_ASM_DEBUGGING_SPEC "-g0 \
%{!gstabs*:-no-mdebug}%{gstabs*:-mdebug}"

Which is what I have in my current working sources. I'll raise the call
for objections right now :)
