Go with stabs and ELF.  Neither ecoff's base file format nor the debug
info were particularly well-documented (I remember some of the bits in
GNU being figured out by reverse engineering!), perpetuating it will
just make your life more difficult in the long run.  It will also be
easier to move to dwarf2 when the opportunity arises.
