The debug-early work is now in mainline.  Feel free to commit when you 
deem appropriate, since you are the jit maintainer ;-).

This hook gets called after the compilation proper has run, and we're 
trying to avoid it.  We're trying to get all the front-ends to finish 
their thing and avoid depending on the compilation proper.

Can you not get this to work without running finalize_global_decls after 
the compilation proper?  If not, then I see no problem with your 
patch....after all, C++ is still using this hook :(.

Thanks for working on this.
