OK with me. But wouldn't the issue surface as well without -readnow,
when expanding the partial symtab?

Regarding the DWARF reader patch, I'd say we put it in 8.1.1.
We haven't had any strong feedback on that question, but the feedback
we received so far has been more in favor of including it.  I don't
think the patch is so risky that it should be excluded (most of it
is purely mechanical); and since Sergio mentioned Fedora was going
to apply it, we might as well give it to everyone ;-). Worse case
scenario, if it causes problems, I can always do an emergency 8.1.2.
