We also need to update dwarf2out.h, which has:

266struct array_descr_info
267{
268  int ndimensions;
269  tree element_type;
270  tree base_decl;
271  tree data_location;
272  tree allocated;
273  tree associated;
274  struct array_descr_dimen
275    {
276      tree lower_bound;
277      tree upper_bound;
278      tree stride;
279    } dimen[10];
280};

Thus, GCC limits the maximal rank to 10.
