1) Then why does it appear in the resulting .debug file at all?

and

2) This still leaves the problem that on e.g. gcc 4.6.2, -g only outputs
.eh_frame. I've looked through the bug database and this appears to be
deliberate since the contents carry so much overlap with .debug_frame.
Therefore, if .debug_frame isn't going to be output, then .eh_frame needs to be
correctly copied, else there is no way for the debugger to unwind the call
frame.
