FWIW I would prefer a fuller cleanup.  This approach makes it sound
like there would still be one global -- but I don't see why we need
any globals at all.  At least, we don't need them in the dwarf reader;
I don't care as much whether the other readers have module-private
globals if that makes the change simpler.

For future reference, it is better to file gcc bugs in the gcc
bugzilla.  They are more likely to be seen there.

Also, for some reason in your messages, the patch shows up twice.
Does anybody else see that?

The version of this patch with the new test case is ok.
Thanks.
