Sorry, but GDB testing exposed a problem with this patch. It turns out that it IS necessary to copy children of a non-declaration DIE, such as DW_TAG_array_type, so my patch was a little too aggressive in completely removing that loop. I'll have a replacement patch on the way after a bit more GDB testing. -cary
