These changes are not correct and break AIX bootstrap.

Those changes are not related to stabs support.  We agreed to remove stabs and

XCOFF stabs support, not GCC DWARF debugging support for AIX.

Also

	* configure: Regenerate. Likewise.
	* configure.ac: Likewise.

does not list that tests for HAVE_XCOFF_DWARF_EXTRAS was removed, so
the ChangeLog was not accurate.

Again, that test is required for AIX is not part of stabs support.


Please revert this change so that AIX can continue to be bootstrapped
and tested, and we can work together to test a corrected patch.

Thanks, David
