It was.

Yes, I agree, but it seemed in informal testing that GDB didn't mind; I
apologize for not running the testsuite.

Would

DW_TAG_structure_type
  DW_AT_declaration
  DW_AT_signature <sig8>

be better?  I suppose strictly speaking we need a DW_AT_name there, too...I'll
see about going in that direction instead.
