I'm confused.  Could you please tell the entire history of the DWARF-2
register numbering in DJGPP?  AFAIK, it didn't change since the first
GCC version that supported DWARF-2 in DJGPP COFF executables, but you
seem to imply that it already changed once, and that now we need to
change it again.  What version(s) of GCC changed that?

The only related change I'm aware of is the change in GDB which was
made some time ago, to bring the DJGPP port of GDB in line with GCC
and other x86 ports.  Again, you seem to say that we are now
incompatible with GNU/Linux numbering?
