A bunch of tests in the gdb testsuite dealing with static variables inside
function scopes have started failing recently with the latest development gcc. 
I simplified the test case down to a small program that shows that simply
adding a small bit of unrelated code causes the DWARF information to disappear.
 Here is a typescript:

$ cat b.c
int bar ()
{
  static int funclocal = 4;     /* In data section */
  return funclocal;
}

int foo ()
{
  static int funclocal = 3;     /* In Data section */
  return funclocal;
}

#ifdef EXPOSEBUG
void bell ()
{
  static int usedval;
}
#endif

main ()
{
  extern void exit (int);
  exit (bar() + foo());
}
$ gcc -g -o b b.c
$ readelf --debug-dump b | grep funclocal
     DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): funclocal
     DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): funclocal

  0x00000000 66756e63 6c6f6361 6c00              funclocal.
$ gcc -DEXPOSEBUG -g -o b b.c
$ readelf --debug-dump b | grep funclocal
     DW_AT_name        : funclocal
