 GCC writes a @samp{.verstamp} directive to the assembler output file

 GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX
 and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB@.  See the
 discussion of the @option{--with-stabs} option of @file{configure} above
 for more information on these formats and how to select them.
