So I'd hoped to have these wrapped up last year in time for gcc-14, but 
life got in the way.


The patches are fine for the trunk, though they are missing ChangeLog 
entries.  I'll cobble those together and push the series to the trunk.


Thanks for your patience.

[PATCH v2 1/4] Support for CodeView debugging format

[Mark Harmstone]

This patch and the following add initial support for Microsoft's
CodeView debugging format, as used by MSVC, to mingw targets.

Note that you will need a recent version of binutils for this to be
useful. The best way to view the output is to run Microsoft's
cvdump.exe, found in their microsoft-pdb repo on GitHub, against the
object files.
