-The DWARF Debugging Information Format is of interest to programmers
-working on compilers and debuggers (and anyone interested in reading
-or writing DWARF information). It was developed by a committee (known
-as the PLSIG at the time) starting around 1991. Starting around 1991
-SGI got involved with the committee and then developed the libdwarf and
-dwarfdump tools for SGI-internal use and as part of SGI IRIX developer
-tools. From around 1993 dwarfdump and libdwarf were shipped (as an
-executable and archive respectively, not source) with every release
-of the SGI MIPS/IRIX C compiler. In 1994 (I think the correct year)
-SGI agreed (at my request) to open-source libdwarf (and in 1999 to
-open-source dwarfdump) so anyone could use them.
