@ -3863,7 +3863,9 @@ sections containing any arbitrary data. To use stabs in ELF object files,
the tools create two custom sections, a ".stab" section which contains
an array of fixed length structures, one struct per stab, and a ".stabstr"
section containing all the variable length strings that are referenced by
stabs in the ".stab" section.
stabs in the ".stab" section. The byte order of the stabs binary data
matches the byte order of the ELF file itself, as determined from the
EI_DATA field in the e_ident member of the ELF header.
The first stab in the ".stab" section for each object file is a "synthetic
stab", generated entirely by the assembler, with no corresponding ".stab"
