Modifying the testcase to C99

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);
}

extern int foo(int i);

The concrete instance is emitted:

 <1><57>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
    <58>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x2d>
    <5c>   DW_AT_low_pc      : 0x0
    <64>   DW_AT_high_pc     : 0xa
    <6c>   DW_AT_frame_base  : 1 byte block: 9c         (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
    <6e>   DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
    <6e>   DW_AT_sibling     : <0x89>
 <2><72>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
    <73>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x3d>
    <77>   DW_AT_location    : 1 byte block: 55         (DW_OP_reg5 (rdi))
 <2><79>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_variable)
    <7a>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x46>
    <7e>   DW_AT_location    : 9 byte block: 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  (DW_OP_addr: 0)

so here's another copy of the variable.

I guess for function local variables gdb isn't fooled to think it has
two copies?  And the bogus copy is not because of the abstract origin
link but because of the unit import but could be brought in by other
means of making gdb read the DWARF of it?
