I can only tell from memory, since this was some years ago - IIRC, we 
needed dwarf debug info on some platforms and stabs on others. I can't 
provide exact details, since the current toolchains work fine without 
such tweaking - I only wanted to point out that if you need to specify 
the exact debug format, then it might be platform-specific.

A simple "-g" should be fine in the common area.
