This removes the always defined DARWIN_PREFER_DWARF and the code
guarded by it being not defined, removing the possibility to
default some i386 darwin configurations to STABS when it would
not be defined.

OK for trunk?

Thanks,
Richard.

	* config/darwin.h (DARWIN_PREFER_DWARF): Do not define.
	* config/i386/darwin.h (PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE): Do not
	change based on DARWIN_PREFER_DWARF not being defined.

OK.  I'm not too worried about supporting 32bit darwin 8 and earlier.  
That's got to be at least a decade out of service at this point.

Sorry, was OOO and without sensible connection.

As you saw I was part way through ripping out stabs for Darwin (I disabled it on the last cycle, but with an easy route to re-enabling should there be any fallout) - no one has complained - so the patch ought to be fine.

The Darwin maintainers have had a policy of not breaking older versions on purpose (and I have gone along with that for now) - but if you want to build on anything older than Darwin8 expect to have to build a whole bunch of supporting tools first to support the bootstrap…

For the record, Darwin8 works fine for GCC11 - and I’d not expect a problem with GCC12 (so far) - there will come a point that we want to default to using embedded rpaths, which it doesn’t support so we shall see what options there are then.
