[Bug bootstrap/34255] scope-blocks-on-a-diet patch diverges -g from non-g output code

Confirmed.  The mentioned patch has been applied to the trunk already.

This is certainly bad and needs to be (is already) fixed.

This causes memory-usage regressions for non-debug builds, for example for
tramp3d-v4 at -O2 -Dleafify=flatten which (peak) memory-usage grows from 807MB
to 1248MB.  (Worse if you also add -fopenmp, less worse if you drop
-Dleafify=flatten)

The following two patches

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-11/msg00524.html

probably address the latter problem in a more efficient way.
