Then the test case in the PR (which you provided) should not have used 
DWARF-2.  I rely on the bugmasters to reduce bugs -- and they do a great 
job.

In any case, the problem is now either in the C front end or in the DBX 
generator.  Since the DWARF-2 generators do something reasonable, 
AFAICT, I would guess the problem is in either the DBX generator, or the 
  GDB reader for STABS, or in the STABS format itself.
