Kai> What is the relation of DWARF info and (static?) blocks ?
Kai> I assume there should be one static block per compilation unit ?

Yeah.  There is a comment in block.h that explains it.
Basically each CU has a global block and a static block,
and then various sub-blocks representing scopes in the program.

Kai> With "newer gdb" I assume you refer to one checked out CVS since 7.5.1
Kai> is the latest release ?

Yes, or git.
