This is Dwarf output? Using something like readelf? (I'm just guessing).

For future reference, are you saying that there should be some internal
representation for arrays that GDB uses which should describe the offset;
that this could be used to print the variable object without reference
to the language; and that this method should work with other unsupported
(by varobj.c) languages like Pascal, for example?
