Sorry Eivind, that's what was implied.

Since this is a mailing list about GCC, I was assuming that GCC was the 
compiler being used.  AVR Studio can only read [E]COFF/stabs and 
ELF/DWARF2 file formats/debug formats from the GCC compiler. IIRC, AVR 
Studio *had* an issue where it would not read in sections other than 
.text, which means that it won't read in, for example, a .bootloader 
section. But I can't remember if Torleif has already fixed this issue or 
not, and whether it's sitting somewhere in a development tree there 
waiting to be released. ;-)
