Hi folks.
Ben brought this bug to my attention which was causing a failure in
libabigail.
The problem is that varargs functions are getting two
DW_TAG_unspecified_parameters DIEs, because they are being emitted in
early debug and again in late debug.
This problem appears in GCC 6 and in mainline.
The attached patch fixes the problem everywhere.
Tested on x86-64 Linux.
OK for mainline?
p.s. I don't know what the rules are for GCC 6 right now, but if it's
open for bugfixes, I'd be more than happy to commit it there if the
patch is approved.
