SYMIFY doesn't support stabs, so you cannot use crash tracebacks efficiently. The overflow of the line info is harmless: what the linker does is simply to ignore the extra line info entries, and it usually hits the last file in the link process, which is in gnu-regex.c or some such--hardly a module that you would want to debug. I have on my todo list to stop linking in all the modules for which we don't have any use, like dwarfread.c, os9read.c, dbxread.c, and others; this should solve the overflow problem. If someone feels like working on that, please do.
