	I do have 2.8.1, and I tried -gstabs, but it took a level which I didn't
understand or feel like looking up, so I tried with 0,1, and then with 2
"-gstabs2" it worked!  It also works with "-gstabs+".  Great.  I'll change all
of my projects (and the default project) to use that debug info.  While were
on this topic, if "-gstabs+" is so much better, than why isn't it used by
default by RHIDE?
