 || Our collector also support precise scanning of objects on the heap,
 || WITHOUT modifying the compiler.  We have a tool that extracts debug output
 || from object files and uses it to construct type descriptor records.  The
 || main version of this tool uses code from GDB, so it understands any
 || compiler debug format that GDB understands.

We have done the same.   Our tool also understands output from other types of
compilers (e.g. Sun and DEC C++).
