You’ve got a point there. In a non-ODR language, you still wouldn’t be allowed 
to resolve a forward declaration to a specific type.
The one thing that I don’t like about emitting “real" forward declarations into 
the DW_TAG_module is that they are indistinguishable from the forward 
declarations that are emitted for external type references, for which there is 
an actual definition in the module itself. This is more of an aesthetic problem 
than a technical one, but it does make dsymutils job of resolving type 
references in a single pass a little harder since dsymutil can no longer assume 
that all forward declarations in a non-defining TAG_module can be resolved.
