Adwait,


The incompatibility is from `fromelf' utility with the way the Diab
compiler generates debug information. Diab has two different options
for generating debug information: -Xdebug-struct-all and
-Xdebug-struct-compact.


You might want to compile with the Diab -Xdebug-struct-all option as the
other one reduces the amount of debug information generated and not all
debugger tools can handle this.


Thanks
Michael
