For ctors/dtors (and for non-GCC compilers) DW_AT_linkage_name does not exist
and it falls back to the physname code.

Some other former code dealing with ctors/dtors in symtabs before physname
code was introduced has been already removed as obsoleted by physname.

Therefore I believe any physname improvements still have effect for
ctors/dtors handling.
