I am testing the following patch which re-instantiates behavior
to emit DW_AT_const_value attributes for optimized out non-readonly
global statics.  Those are readonly by means of the ability to
remove them early (before any optimization such as removing stores
to write-only global vars).  Before my change to make the
late_global_decl debug hook not go via 
add_location_or_const_value_attribute but only 
tree_add_const_value_attribute_for_decl during the early debug phase
the former function ran into rtl_for_decl_location doing

  /* A variable with no DECL_RTL but a DECL_INITIAL is a compile-time 
constant,
     and will have been substituted directly into all expressions that use 
it.
     C does not have such a concept, but C++ and other languages do.  */
  if (!rtl && TREE_CODE (decl) == VAR_DECL && DECL_INITIAL (decl))
    rtl = rtl_for_decl_init (DECL_INITIAL (decl), TREE_TYPE (decl));

where obviously at this point of the compilation no DECL_RTL was
created yet (the above code looks fishy to me -- 
tree_add_const_value_attribute_for_decl checks for TREE_READONLY on
the decl).

Anyway, bootstrapping and regtesting the following on 
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (it makes gcc.dg/debug/dwarf2/const-2b.c PASS
again).

Comments welcome.

Richard.
