Commit Message:
CONFIGURE: MACOSX: Use -gdwarf-2 instead of -gstabs+ for OSX PPC

Prefer DWARF over stabs on older OSX; this requires a newer GDB, but we
need it for the updated toolchain anyway. This improves the debugging
experience quite a lot, and it still creates meaningful traces for the
Crash Reporter of OSX 10.4.

An updated GDB can be found in the development blog posts of TenFourFox,
or in MacPorts.  Setting it up may require some work, but it's worth it.

Changed paths:
