--- Comment #5 from Mark Wielaard <mark at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Confirmed with g++ (GCC) 4.9.0 20140219 (experimental)

Variable f comes out as:

 [    48]    variable
             name                 (string) "f"
             decl_file            (data1) 1
             decl_line            (data1) 3
             type                 (ref4) [    5b]
             external             (flag_present) Yes
             location             (exprloc)               [   0] addr .rodata+0
<f>
 [    5b]    const_type
             type                 (ref4) [    1d]

With DIE 1d as expected:

 [    1d]    typedef
             name                 (string) "foo"
             decl_file            (data1) 1
             decl_line            (data1) 1
             type                 (ref4) [    28]
 [    28]    reference_type
             byte_size            (data1) 8
             type                 (ref4) [    2e]
 [    2e]    base_type
             byte_size            (data1) 4
             encoding             (data1) signed (5)
             name                 (string) "int"
