This is just a follow-up to Joel's patches that fixes a bug that can be
triggered by a suitable version of GNAT.

There are a couple more follow-up patches I plan to send, though I think
the remainder don't touch the DWARF reader.

I think all we discussed on irc was just this -- changing gdb to require
it and use it in some spots.  I think it would probably be good to do
more here, but I don't think AdaCore is planning to do it in the near
term.

Not sure if that clears things up, but if not let me know & I am happy
to talk more.

thanks,
Tom
