I compared 8.4.0 and 9.3.1, and found a difference in debug info.

In case of 8.4.0, we have variable zs:
...
 <1><1f0>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_variable)
    <1f1>   DW_AT_name        : zs
    ...
    <1f7>   DW_AT_type        : <0x205>
...
with type:
...
 <1><205>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_pointer_type)
    <206>   DW_AT_byte_size   : 8
    <207>   DW_AT_type        : <0x176>
...
pointing to struct type:
...
 <1><176>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
    <177>   DW_AT_name        : zero_size
...
with member:
...
 <2><18e>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_member)
    <18f>   DW_AT_name        : items
    <196>   DW_AT_type        : <0x19c>
...
with type:
...
 <1><19c>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_array_type)
    <19d>   DW_AT_type        : <0xfb>
    <1a1>   DW_AT_sibling     : <0x1ab>
 <2><1a5>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
    <1a6>   DW_AT_type        : <0xf4>
 <2><1aa>: Abbrev Number: 0
...

The same for 9.3.1, but with DW_AT_count 0 in the subrange:
...
 <1><19c>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_array_type)
    <19d>   DW_AT_type        : <0xfb>
    <1a1>   DW_AT_sibling     : <0x1ac>
 <2><1a5>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
    <1a6>   DW_AT_type        : <0xf4>
    <1aa>   DW_AT_count       : 0
...
