Thank you! I'll rebase and do the usual round of retesting, then if that
passes -- which it should -- push (in the next day, probably).


Next: getting the lookup side to work better. I've been writing a lookup
testsuite and finding a lot of lookup-side bugs, mostly in places where
GCC generates CTF that is much more faithful to the original type graph
than the pre-existing DWARF converters ever did. (Not a precondition for
this series to go in: this is a strict improvement on its own.)
