We are using GCC MIPS R5900 for SonyÃ‚Â’s Play Station 2 on Linux/NT. We have
ELF executables with  a .mdebug section using stabs-in-ecoff. 

1. Is there
a way to force the GCC MIPS compiler to emit the .stab and .stabstr
sections instead of the .mdebug section? Based on my knowledge, it looks
like GCC is emitting stabs and the assembler is transforming that into
.mdebug section. Shall we build GAS for MIPS with or without .mdebug stabs
conversion disabled? if possible, many thanks for your suggestions in
advance! 

2. If the GCC MIPS compiler can't generate the .stab and
.stabstr sections, is there any documentation or source file or dump tool
that descibles the .mdebug section in detail? 

Any help on this is
appreciated.
