------- Comment #1 from jan dot kratochvil at redhat dot com 2009-03-26 22:57 ------- As DW_AT_external-DW_TAG_variable in the inner block is incompatible with current GDB http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-03/msg00595.html
the current C++ method of DW_TAG_imported_declaration referencing the file-level DW_AT_external-DW_TAG_variable may be more appropriate. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39563
