Users must always be informed when a compiler does not comply with an ABI, so please add a notice in the release note to inform the user that the ppc gcc is not compatible with the DWARF and PPC ABI. And please also add information about exception from these standards and provide information about the new DWARF register number mapping that is used by gcc in the .eh_frame section. My 2 cents. Mihai
