The attached file (a binary patched one GCC output) should have for
DW_TAG_array_type <7a>:

According to the DWARF3 spec: index type `short int'.

Current CVS HEAD GDB complains and assigns: index type `long int' (64-bit int).

Therefore GDB violates the DWARF3 spec and the complaint there is right as it
warns the user GDB has violated the DWARF3 spec while parsing the ELF file.
