But it needs program headers, right? Very new versions of the binutils don't add the program headers to the debug info file any more (currently only in binutils CVS), so we need gnu_debuglink support anyway. Of course my patch cannot handle this yet. I'll test this after we have the binutils version in our distribution which will be very soon ;-(.
