Re: Dwarf2-related Internal error

Hi Daniel, Elena and others,
this problem is still present in recent HEAD - could anyone who knows
the internals of symbols handling and .debug_info please help me with
fixing it, please? I tried to debug it myself but got quickly lost in
all those symbols<->types<->other_types references and couldn't find
where the problem originates.

Also pointing out the right direction where to look for the bug would
help me a lot :-)

BTW I also filled a PR with a very nice number 1333 for this issue.

Thanks in advance!
