Thanks - I completely agree.  It's not the obvious problem,
but
whatever it is, we should fix it if we can.

I found what the problem is. It's strictly
Tensilica-compiler-specific.

I suggest we discuss it on the gdb-patch list since I
already tried
to provide a patch to fix this issue.

If we end up with understanding that compiler should be
fixed then
my GDB patch should be modified to recognize inconsistent
DWARF and
issue a warning instead of printing misleading error
messages (like it 
does now).
