>Description:
gcc doesn't always generate information for the label in
the concrete inlined instance tree (see example), even though
the label location would exist in the generated code. If I change
the inlined function a bit, it sometimes does.
>How-To-Repeat:
Example (with Red Hat's gcc 3.1 20011127 on ia32):

$ cat <<EOF >foo.c
int xyz;

static inline int foo(int bar)
{
label:
        xyz = bar;
}

void main(int argc)
{
    foo(123);
} 
EOF
$ gcc -w -g foo.c       # gcc 3.3: gcc -w -g -finline foo.c
$ readelf -w a.out | grep label
 <2><84>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_label)
     DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x55): label
   9      DW_TAG_label    [no children]
  0x00000050 2f676363 006c6162 656c00            /gcc.label.
$ objdump -d a.out

 80483b2:       a3 34 95 04 08          mov    %eax,0x8049534

>Fix:
Work-around: don't depend on labels :-(
