Um,
Having only just learn't of `info address', I'm finding that it isn't
very useful. Sigh:
(gdb) info address b
Symbol "b" is a variable with complex or multiple locations (DWARF2).

This is progress :-(. Abviously "info address" should try to evaluate
the location expression.

Yes, precisely. The message was deemed more useful than
incorrekt/incomplet information. Just need to hook in either a
pretty-printer or location expression dumper.
I'm waiting until after DW_OP_piece to do this, so that we'll be able
to say something like:
"b" is a variable with multiple locations:
4 bytes at 0x10002030
4 bytes in $r13
8 bytes in $f12
