Here I mainly meant the type of dwarf being used (type units, dwo vs. dwp, etc.), though I haven't done some comprehensive tests to know what are all the variables. I don't know how much detail do we want to go in to here. I could change this to "depending on the kind debug info used (type units or not, dwo vs. dwp vs. regular DWARF, ...)", or just omit the part after the comma completely. (I could also omit the entry altogether, but I though people might like to see that)
