I'm curious why you reimplemented this approach.
If you look back to last year, you'll note I sent something that does 
exactly this, to gdb-patches.
I never got around to attach dwarf blocks to types, because Andrew wanted 
it more independent of DWARF2.
You probably could have saved a lot of time in writing his stuff, which is 
why i'm curious.
