I'm pretty sure it is already more widely implemented than COFF. It is
certainly the default debug format for gcc/g++ as well as the intel C++
compiler, and many others. GDB uses it, the commercial debugger I work
on NightView (ccur.com) uses it, totalview uses it (another commercial
debugger). It is indeed vastly superior to COFF (which I once had to
try and get to work with mixed results :-).
