I have just been testing again (with todays lazarus (there have been 
some issues in the past few days) => it works.

I do get the type=stabs, I checked my project had exactly the settings 
you copied above. I also checked tha content of the new saved lpi file....

Please test with the latest version of Lazarus.

As for line info => it has for some reason always defaulted to true => 
that is, it is on, if not explicitly disabled in the config file.

However, I do not know, if the default in a virgin Lazarus install is 
true or false => if it was false, then every project file would store an 
explicit line saying it is off => I do not know why that is...
