dwarf2_debug has
/* Preserve the original value of info_ptr for the current
comp_unit so we can find a given entry by its reference. */
char* info_ptr_unit;
which is used by find_abstract_instance_name:
info_ptr = unit->stash->info_ptr_unit + die_ref;
The problem is there is only one info_ptr_unit per file for multiple
CUs. To work with more than one CU, info_ptr_unit has to be updated
for the current CU when find_abstract_instance_name is called. My
patch adds the CU offset to comp_unit, which can be used by
find_abstract_instance_name to adjust info_ptr_unit.
BTW, I have a testcase of a several MB ia64 libc_pic.os generated by
"ld -r".
