    Avoid crash with Ada and -fdata-sections
    
    A user noticed that gdb would crash when showing a backtrace.
    Investigation showed this to be a crash in the DWARF reader when
    handling a "pragma export" symbol.  The bug here is that earlier code
    decides to eliminate the symbol, but the export code tries to add it
    anyway -- but to a NULL list.
