I am not sure which hack you refer to; if you're talking about
the encoding we're using, I also agree that it's not very elegant.
It's a artifact that comes from old times when dwarf2 wasn't available
(and still isn't always available on certain targets). However, we
*are* at AdaCore working on producing more standard dwarf, so eventually
the array index should have the correct type. We've made some progress
in that direction already, but it will take a LOT of work to complete.

Thanks! Will commit shortly, and then remove the KFAILs.
