    On Solaris:

    If the output from 'elfdump -c a.out | grep stabstr' is similar
    to this:

      Section Header[26]: sh_name: .stabstr

    the exe has debug info in STABS format.

    If the output from 'elfdump -c a.out | grep debug' is similar
    to this:

      Section Header[19]: sh_name: .debug_line
      Section Header[20]: sh_name: .debug_info
      Section Header[21]: sh_name: .debug_abbrev
      Section Header[22]: sh_name: .debug_pubnames
      Section Header[23]: sh_name: .debug_varnames

    the exe has debug info in DWARF format.

    On HP-UX 11i for PA-RISC in 64-bit and for IA64 in 32 and 64-bit,
    you have a debug exe if the ouput from 'elfdump -c a.out | grep
    debug' is similar to:

      1276 .debug_gntt
      1288 .debug_lntt
      1300 .debug_slt
      1311 .debug_vt
      284 .debug_header
      298 .debug_gntt
      310 .debug_lntt
      322 .debug_slt
      333 .debug_vt

    Finally, on HP-UX 11i for PA-RISC 32-bit exe has debug info if
    'odump -subspaces a.out | egrep "SLT|GNTT|LNTT"' results in output
    like this:

     18 2 00 ....0...... 0 00007030 000188 00006e58 000188 4 0 0 $GNTT$
     19 2 00 ....0...... 0 000071b8 004428 00006fe0 004428 4 0 0 $LNTT$
     20 2 00 ....0...... 0 0000b5e0 000288 0000b408 000288 4 0 0 $SLT$

    Cheers,
