[Bug c/19087] New: Overflowed address in dwarf debug line information

[tsandnes at atmel dot com]

The mapping between addresses and code locations is invalid in object files
compiled for AVR targets that addresses code above 64K. This seems like a
"rollover" bug because addresses immediately above 64K have values near 0. 

To reproduce this bug, generate a source file that uses more than 64K of program
memory and try to parse the .debug_line section using libdwarf or by
implementing the state machine described in section 6.2 of "DWARF Debugging
Information Format" revision 2.0.0

This is probably a side-effect of the AVR usually only addressing 64K of program
memory.
