>Environment:
System: Linux linuix 2.4.18-4GB #1 Wed Mar 27 13:57:05 UTC 2002 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686

	
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: ../configure --prefix=/packages/gnu-snapshot --enable-shared --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-nls
>Description:

For C++ variables with attributes 'static const' which can be
optimized away, the debug info that is generated leads to undefined
references.

>How-To-Repeat:

$ cat <<\EOF > foo.cc
struct cl_class {};
extern cl_class cl_class_fixnum;
extern cl_class cl_class_bignum;
static const void* const cl_I_classes_dummy[] = { &cl_I_classes_dummy,
  &cl_class_fixnum
};
int main () {}
EOF

$ g++ -O2 foo.cc 
; OK, no error

$ g++ -O2 -g foo.cc 
/usr/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Invalid or unhandled FORM value: 14.
/usr/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Invalid or unhandled FORM value: 14.
/usr/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Invalid or unhandled FORM value: 14.
/tmp/cco4BRgH.o::7: undefined reference to `cl_I_classes_dummy'
/tmp/cco4BRgH.o::7: undefined reference to `cl_class_fixnum'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

>Fix:

Omit the debug info for variables which are optimized away.
