    PR gdb/18021 - defend against "static virtual" methods

    This bug appears to be caused by bad debuginfo. The method
    causing the sefault in the reporter's test case is marked both static
    and virtual.

    This patch simply safegaurds against this case in dwarf2_add_member_fn,
    where the code assumes that there is a `this' pointer when a virtual method
    is seen (more specifically, when DW_AT_vtable_elem is seen).

    It previously dereferenced the first formal parameter
    (`this' pointer), which in this case doesn't exist. GDB consequently
    segfaulted dereferencing a NULL pointer.

        * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_add_member_fn): Issue a complaint
        if we find a static method with DW_AT_vtable_elem_location.
