Looking at the original namespace support in dwarf2out patches I found the
declaration in the namespace and specification in CU is being done for
compatibility with (at that time) existing debuggers. I'm not sure if we need
to do the same for Fortran (maybe not, what does gdb do with DW_TAG_module?) or
if we couldn't drop compatibility hacks for more than 5 years old dwarf2
debuggers by now even for C++. The duplicate declaration DIEs are still
unexpected.
