Does this happen only with DWARF2 debug info (i.e. under -ggdb), or
even with -g and -gstabs+, or without debug info at all?  If the
latter, I think it's very bad.

> binutils-2.12.1 is recommended

If GCC 3.1 can only work without these warnings when used with
Binutils 2.12.1 and later, I think we should try to convince GCC
developers to fix that somehow before GCC 3.1 is released: Binutils
2.12.1 is not even on ftp.gnu.org yet, and 2.12 was only released 2
months ago.  How can they reasonably require such a fresh version??

Or is it too late to ask them to change their minds?

I wish these aspects would have popped up earlier, when we still have
a chance to do something about them.
