I'm not an expert in this area too, but, in theory, what's the
problem if we have (presumably valid) DWARF info? Looking through
DWARF4 specs, each CU should have DW_AT_low_pc and DW_AT_high_pc;
so, if CU->DW_AT_low_pc <= current PC <= CU->DW_AT_high_pc, then
CU->DW_AT_language is the language in question, isn't it?
