Part of the problem here is that I haven't figured out yet where to
stuff the bits when parsing the attributes from the DWARF
information. E.g., DECL_MUTABLE_P is specific to the C++ front end.
The LTO front-end needs to support a superset of all language flags if
you want to LTO across languages.
Not just flags, but it has to be aware of the language-specific semantics
associated with those flags, too. Anyway, for now we are just targeting plain
C, so I'm punting on some of the hard issues involving support for other
languages; just leaving hooks or marking obvious places where support will need
to be added.
