Perhaps it would be worth clarifying the status of support for .gdb_index.

It is the defacto standard for the index cache, but ada support is 
broken ( https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29179 ).

Do we want to fix this?

Do we want to deprecate .gdb_index and start using .debug_names for the 
index cache?

Or are we fine with the status quo (which then might need documenting)?

Thanks,
