That is normal.

It's in the .o files.

This is at least not supported by the Mac OS X linker: if it detects  
DWARF debug information in an object file, it will ignore any Stabs  
debug info. So I do not think that what you want is possible. gcc also  
can only include one kind of debug information in object files.
