The attached patch solves PR53453. The upcoming dsymutil release will now issue a warning when no debug notes are emitted for an object file on linkage. This causes several thousand failures in the FSF gcc testsuite. The origin of this problem is that the darwin linker requires the presence of both AT_name and AT_comp_dir attributes for each object file otherwise their debug notes will be omitted on linkage. The patch adds a new TARGET_FORCE_AT_COMP_DIR target hook for darwin so that AT_comp_dir will be present for all object files. Bootstrap and regression tested on x86_64-apple-darwin12.

Jack ps Note that this is a pre-existing problem on darwin and that the newer dsymutil simply has alerted us to the issue. pps Added correction of s/AT_comp_dir/DW_AT_comp_dir/g to gcc/target.def change. 2012-05-24 Jack Howarth <howa...@bromo.med.uc.edu> PR debug/53453 * doc/tm.texi: Update. * doc/tm.texi.in (SDB and DWARF) <TARGET_FORCE_AT_COMP_DIR>: Add @hook. * target-def (force_at_comp_dir): New hook. * config/darwin.h (TARGET_FORCE_AT_COMP_DIR): Define. * dwarf2out.c (dwarf2out_finish): Check targetm.force_at_comp_dir.
