Description

In order to guard against generating objects with incomplete CTF data, ctfconvert currently exits with an error if it detects that some of the source objects are missing debug information. This check can be overridden with the -m option.
However, this is an all or nothing option which masks all missing data.
It would be nice to have a way of selectively allowing source objects to have missing data.

This new option has been integrated to OmniOS for a few weeks and is being used to selectively ignore missing DWARF data in objects.
