I found what the problem is. It's strictly Tensilica-compiler-specific.
I suggest we discuss it on the gdb-patch list since I already tried
to provide a patch to fix this issue.
If we end up with understanding that compiler should be fixed then
my GDB patch should be modified to recognize inconsistent DWARF and
issue a warning instead of printing misleading error messages (like it
does now).
