Not sure if today, but they certainly could. If/when we switch to DWARF5 by default (hopefully F34), it would be nice to also switch from .gdb_index to .debug_names, but it would be great if the .debug_names some tool generates (whether it is GDB, some standalone post-linking (and post dwz) tool, dwz itself, ...) is usable by both GDB and LLDB, because the point in DWARF5 standardizing .debug_names was to make those usable by everything rather than each tool rolling its own index. We can't have two .debug_names sections, one for GDB and one for LLDB...
