That's something completely different. It only makes sure that all  
dwarf information for the current unit is written in the object file  
of the current unit, rather than that the compiler tries to reuse  
dwarf information written in object files of other units (e.g. if you  
use the longint type, then the compiler will write the dwarf info for  
the longint type to the current unit, rather than referring to the  
information written in the system unit's object file).

The reason is that Mac OS X' linker requires that all labels used in  
dwarf sections are local to the current object file, as it does not  
relocate dwarf sections (to speed up linking large debug builds).
