Well, dwarf2out won't free any of the strings it xstrdups, I just fixed
the two cases where it xstrdups INDENTIFIER_NODEs strings (which turn to
be out 1GB of identifiers for that particular testcase).  I wouldn't be
surprised if a #define xstrdup(x) (x) for dwarf2out would bootstrap and
regtest ok (but there _must_ be a reason for duplicating all strings, 
right?).
