A bunch of tests in the gdb testsuite dealing with static variables inside
function scopes have started failing recently with the latest development gcc.
I simplified the test case down to a small program that shows that simply
adding a small bit of unrelated code causes the DWARF information to disappear.
Here is a typescript:

$ cat b.c
int bar ()
{
static int funclocal = 4; /* In data section */
return funclocal;
}
int foo ()
{
static int funclocal = 3; /* In Data section */
return funclocal;
}
#ifdef EXPOSEBUG
void bell ()
{
static int usedval;
}
#endif
main ()
{
extern void exit (int);
exit (bar() + foo());
}
