I'm going to post a new version of this series.

I dropped patch #1, because Jakub put the equivalent patch into gcc and
src already.  It has a link to the DWARF proposal:

    http://www.dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=120604.1&type=open

Of course, because of this, the patch numbers all change, leading to
general confusion.  I plan to handle this by sending follow-ups to the
most recent version of the patches.

Also, I'm only planning to repost the patches that have changed -- just
the last 3.

I did this and there are no regressions as compared to a test suite run
using just .gdb_index.  (.gdb_index has a regression against a plain
test run.)
