[PATCH] Ignore DWARF debug information for -gsplit-dwarf with dwarf-5.

[Potharla, Rupesh]

[Public]

Thanks Jan, 

I made the suggested changes. Can you review the latest code changes and send in your comments ?

Inline Patch:

Skip dwo_id for split dwarf.
 * dwarf2.c (parse_comp_unit): Skip DWO_id for DW_UT_skeleton.
