Unfortunately this is only a spurious error caused by the later undefined
reference ones.  I have opened
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23425 for this issue.

Given the original issue also reports undefined references the
DWARF error emitted there looks like hitting the very same issue.

Can you reproduce the DWARF errors without undefined references?
