Argh!!! Certain files in my tree had weird tags, and I have no idea
why. I made a clean check out of the sources, and now I see:

        Address of symbol "noloc" is unknown.

Thanks for catching this, and sorry for the trouble.
Should we still keep the testcase, though? (revised)

2007-03-29  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@adacore.com>

        * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-noloc.S: New file.
        * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-noloc.exp: New file.

Tested on x86-linux.
