Can you amend the cover text for 'Debugging Options' to mention that
there are debug formats that can co-exist with others (like DWARF with
CTF) but unless stated explicitly the -g<format> option specifies the
main debug info format to be used? And for -gctf and friends document
it can work as alternate format (but also main, in case no other is specified?).
Thanks,
Richard.
