Jan,


.debug_info contents:
0x00000000: Compile Unit: length = 0x00000031, format = DWARF32, version = 0x0005, unit_type = DW_UT_skeleton, abbr_offset = 0x0000, addr_size = 0x08, DWO_id = 0xcd97775ca070a83c (next unit at 0x00000035)

The issue is seen with both clang and gcc.  Above is the Debug_info header of a program compiled with gcc using -gsplit-dwarf and dwarf-5.
There are two other fields(abbr_offset and addr_Size) after unit_type in the header.  Skipping the dwo_id field in the previous check of unit_type will not fix the issue.

Regards,
Rupesh P
