Hi,

A quick pass for style.

Align the wrapped lines with the first line (like you did for comments below).

Use two spaces after the last period (happens in multiple comments in this patch).

Add an empty line before this, to make it clear it's not related to the lines above.

Please add an intro comment for all new functions.  It doesn't have to be long, but
it should at least describe the general intent of the function, and ideally its
parameters.

Remove one empty line here.

When comparing pointers, do an explicit comparison with nullptr:

  if (cu->dwo_unit != nullptr)

When referring to a variable/parameter name, put it in capital letters:

/* Given a DW_FORM_loclistx value LOCLIST_INDEX, ...

Last line should be indented with 4 spaces (i.e. one mode indent than the previous line).

The section name is ".debug_loclists", with an s at the end.  This error happens at a few other spots.

Align the wrapped line with the opening parenthesis, like this:

  const gdb_byte *info_ptr = (section->buffer + loclist_base +
			      loclist_index * cu->header.offset_size);

Or put the right-hand-side expression completely on the new line:

  const gdb_byte *info_ptr
    = section->buffer + loclist_base + loclist_index * cu->header.offset_size);

Please use some empty liens strategically, to separate the different logical steps
in the function.
