Does this mean, if I use NASM syntax instead of Gas syntax DWARF2 will
not be supported ? Not that I need it, for debugging assembly I find
it best to use various features of gdb rather than anything else... In
any case there will be a very fine line in defining data vs code ...
data can be defined anywhere as can code.. or maybe you meant
compiling a C program and then using yasm instead of Gas to assemble
it  ?
