--- Comment #2 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
So the current situation is similar to that of

static inline int foo(int i)
{
  static int j;
  j = i + 1;
  return j;
}

int bar(int i)
{
  return foo(i);
}

int baz(int i)
{
  return foo(i);
}

here we get

which also means at least two (in the DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine instances)
concrete variables named 'j'.  Not sure if the <46> DIE is a concrete
variable - DWARF doesn't have linkage attributes and the containing
subroutine DIE is marked with DW_AT_inline.

Note we're not emitting a concrete instance of the function which would
contain the "main" instance of 'j'.  Not sure what the DWARF for a
standalone concrete instantiation of 'j' would look like.

So current LTO is modeled after this, the early debug contains abstract
instances only (also for non-functions, thus global variables), albeit
not marked as such in all cases.  The LTRANS debug contains all concrete
(and inline) instances.
