Using a modern gcc, if somebody tries to use -gstabs as first suggested,
won't they get an error saying it's not supported?

The text indeed talks about  DWARF, but I interpreted it as "GCC doesn't
currently support DWARF for DJGPP but it might one day".  From what you
said, I understood thought that DWARF has been available for DJGPP for a
long time now.
