At the time v2.2.10 where released in 2006, gcc 2.93 wasn't that old
and COFF debug-info was the standard AFAIK. But allthough I haven't
released any Watt-32 package since then, much have changed since
then. But I simply hasn't been any great demand to release a new
version (targeting DOS at least. DOS means "Denial Of Service" these days).
And I've been busy with other (mostly Win32) projects.  Hence the improvements 
in Watt-32 has mainly been for Windows targets:
  * Win64 (MingW64) & Cygwin support.
  * Python module support.
  * Rewritten ARP & routing (all targets).
  * Support for SwsVpkt drivers.

etc., etc. 

Thanks to everybody who has contributed to the forthcoming
2.2.11 version. And thanks to you Juan for working on this.
