Differences Between GNU Stabs and Sun Native Stabs
**************************************************
* GNU C stabs define *all* types, file or procedure scope, as
`N_LSYM'. Sun doc talks about using `N_GSYM' too.
* Sun C stabs use type number pairs in the format
(FILE-NUMBER,TYPE-NUMBER) where FILE-NUMBER is a number starting
with 1 and incremented for each sub-source file in the
compilation. TYPE-NUMBER is a number starting with 1 and
incremented for each new type defined in the compilation. GNU C
stabs use the type number alone, with no source file number.
