Why dwarf information has so big debug files (comparing with

Because Windows (just like Darwin) does not support referring to
DWARF debug
info from one object file to another, so a lot of debug information
is
duplicated in multiple units.
Out of curiosity, is this a limitation of gdb, the library loader, or
the dwarf/library format?
On Mac OS X, it's a limitation of the linker (done on purpose, to
making linking much faster and less memory intensive). I don't know
about Windows.
