Well, it only says ``for best results [...] use -gstabs'', so it's not
an absolute. Stabs are certainly better than, say, COFF debug info
for debugging C++. And if GCC is used, stabs are available on more
platforms than dwarf2. So I think the manual language isn't totally
wrong.
Btw, if stabs aren't the best type of debug info available in GDB 5.0 for
debugging C++ code, what is?
