Sure.  Should we also CC the gcc mailing list?

Right, the two-element structure is passed by reference on s390x.  But
that also applies to the same structure in C/C++.  Nevertheless, with C
the argument's DW_AT_type reflects the real type and gcc adjusts the
DW_AT_location instead.

Thanks.  Eric, do you confirm that it's intentional to adjust the
DW_AT_type based on ABI?

Joel, in the meantime I suggest to commit the second line of your patch.
It's independent of the outcome, and we might otherwise lose track of
it.
