I agree. Joost, I've attached a patch for FPC's DWARF writer to fix it. I can't test whether it works (the dumped DWARF info looks ok though), because I can't get gdb/F-13 to build:

This is on a Scientific Linux 5.4 machine (which corresponds to RHEL 5.4). Maybe I need a newer version of the "patch" utility? (it has version 2.5.4)
