Absolutely a good idea.  What do you think about letting these use the
.inc files in gdb.asm?  Writing raw dwarf2 could require arch hooks,
unless you want to point all offsets at constant addresses instead of
at a variable's actual location.  For instance some architectures need
to use .word vs .quad.
