Bizarre debugedit complaint

fpc generates DWARF, the same format that gcc generates and that the tools
know how to process.  It might be that fpc has bugs and generates bad
DWARF.  Or it might be that it generates valid DWARF but with patterns that
GCC never generates.  Since most everything has DWARF generated by the same
codebase in GCC, the DWARF-consuming tools like debugedit might have bugs
that were never noticed until fpc came along.  

I will try to reproduce the failing build and look at the DWARF data.


Thanks,
Roland
