BTW, you might already know this, but you can run stabs+ on RH 9 with:
runtest ... --target_board unix/gdb:debug_flags=-gstabs+
I don't know the right incantation for doing this at the
"make check" level.

My data point is that minsym size is not important: about 0.3 megabytes
out of 80 megabytes with "gdb --readnow gdb". Dunno about the normal
case without "--readnow" but I wouldn't worry about increasing the
size of a minsym if that helps fix a problem.
My two superficial observations,
