How about the location lists?

In fact I see that it's only one instance of location lists that you're 
removing -- the one for DW_AT_frame_base.  So your macro appears to be 
misnamed.  Unless that's what the toplev.c change does?  I think you 
could equally well handle that in your target's OVERRIDE_OPTIONS hook.

Lets be more precise: what, exactly, does VMS debug allow for 
DW_AT_frame_base?  Because if it does allow simple things, you should in 
fact be computing the location list and then checking if we hit one of 
the degenerate cases that doesn't actually require a list.
