If a program similar to symify is part of Binutils, as DJ suggested, it 
will solve both the problem of having to download BFD, and will make sure 
any format supported by DJGPP is automagically supported by symify.

Yes, I looked at it.  The problem is (unless I miss something), you need 
the entire librhgdb.a to link gsymify.  Since it's not a stand-alone 
program like symify, it's probably next to impossible to add stabs 
support to DJGPP's src/debug functions.  Too bad.
