Probably my fault, I had to hand edit out an irrelevant change or two, related to
trying to get dwarf2 elimination working again.  I must have accidently
removed one line too many.
I checked out a new copy to do the work to make the patch work all the
time, so it shouldn't happen again.

Well, Mark says this *can* happen, in normal cases, so IMHO, it's the
right thing to do. There's certainly no other way around it than to
create the DIE's, they must exist to be able to set the attribute :).


I'll make the patch put the decl's and type's in the right place all
the time, and
submit it.
