- That is quite correct. The -g option does not work for g++ on most SVR4
- based systems. The reason is simple Cygnus Support is either unwilling
- or unable to fix the interface from the g++ front end to the DWARF
- generation routines (in dwarfout.c).

- Note that DWARF output for GNU C works flawlessly on SVR4 however.
