Our test is expecting to find a DW_AT_const_value somewhere in the dwarf output
which it no longer seems to generate. From what I gather from your commit
message, the compiler should now be emitting a new DW_TAG_variable section that
it previously did not with the DW_AT_const_value attached? Or is my
understanding incorrect?
