I tested the patch on gcc110, there is no regression.  I pushed it in.

I noticed that too, but one thing I am not sure is that sal.objfile is
*only* used for probe,

  /* The probe associated with this symtab_and_line.  */
  probe *prob = NULL;
  /* If PROBE is not NULL, then this is the objfile in which the probe
     originated.  */
  struct objfile *objfile = NULL;

so can we use it in other cases (when probe is not used)?  I don't
know.  If so, are sal.objfile and sal.section->objfile different or same?
I need to look at the code there.
