First: Please reply at the bottom of the messages.
The answer to your question was already in my reply quoted above. The debugger
gdb support for
dwarf was not good enough and not supported on all platforms (especially
windows). It is
improving, but it needs to be tested well before we can make dwarf debuginfo
for some platforms
the default in fpc.
