Comment (by AndreasK):

 > we have no support for debugging information on Windows (which doesn't
 use DWARF)

 I've got a lot of use out of DWARF/-g on windows.

 While windows centric tools don't support dwarf in general gdb does as
 does VTune. So having dwarf support on windows is far from useless.

 There are also tools to convert dwarf info into windows compatible formats
 but I haven't had a need to use these yet.
