The problem is that without proper scoping on an abstract_origin attribute, so the correct canonical name for this variable cannot be constructed (without relying on DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name that is). Therefore a 'print A::elsewhere' command fails -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37982
