[RFA] dwarf2_physname FINAL

[Keith Seitz <keiths at redhat dot com>]

Hi,

Okay, now that 7.1 has branch, it is time to give the go/no-go on this 
patch. I'm attaching the "final" version (in full this time, in case 
anyone wants to apply it to their own sandbox).

The only "new" stuff in this patch is a fixlet to py-symbol.exp, in 
which a test prints out the linkage name (which has obviously changed).

There is an apparent regression in jprint.exp. Printing static class 
variables (java only) is "broken." This is a gcc bug (gcc/43260): we 
don't get any location info from gcc about where the static variable 
lives, so we report it as "optimized out." NOTE: This "works" on CVS 
HEAD because we fallback to using the linkage name (from 
DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name) to search the minimal symbol table, using that 
to grab the address of the variable. Obviously we won't be able to do 
that any more.

One other issue that I uncovered: DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name appears to be 
necessary for Ada. I have a patch that I used to address this (for one 
of our internal releases), but it is probably not complete. [In other 
words: it's now just as broken as it was before.] I can submit this as a 
follow-up, if so desired.

I have tested the attached patch against i686-linux-gnu (Fedora 11) and 
Jan has kindly tested it in his usual array of configurations 
({x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora{11,12,13}-linux-gnu) with no 
regressions (other than the aforementioned jprint.exp static variable 
failure).

Final comments/questions/concerns?
