Ah, there are multiple issues here: you're assuming that
dwarf2_gen_line_info() is only called once per loc-directive, but this
isn't true for tc-ia64.c, which calls dwarf2_gen_line_info() for each
instruction, no matter what.
I'll check gdb to see if it gets any new failures on ia64 with the
duplicate line info removed.
