The latter, at least until we decide otherwise ;-).

I should add that a new binutils release is a prerequisite for the
configury in the gcc patch to trigger and enable DWARF 2 support.  Also, a
new gdb is required to do anything usefull (one gdb patch is still
pending due to an AWOL COFF maintainer).

Just more FYI.
