[PATCH 1/1] DWARF reader workaround for declaration-only types

[Giuliano Procida]

abidw sometimes unexpectedly emits types as declaration-only (often
just preserving the size information associated with full definitions
elsewhere in the corpus.

This workaround illustrates the issue (it breaks some tests).
