     Err can you explain how this works, or link to the gcc discussion if it's
     explained there?  I must be missing something, because as far as I
     understand, this will read 4 bytes when reading an address, when I
     suppose it's encoded with 3 bytes in the DWARF info, isn't it?

The relevant discussion is here: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-09/msg00712.html

The bottom line is that the dwarf address size does not need to
correspond to the machine address size (and in general it does not) - 
it just needs to be at least as long.
