Hi,
PR 16581:
GDB crash on inherit_abstract_dies infinite recursion
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16581
fixed crash from an infinite recursion. But in rare cases the new code can
now gdb_assert() due to weird DWARF file.
I do not yet fully understand why the DWARF is as it is but just GDB should
never crash due to invalid DWARF anyway. The "invalid" DWARF I see only in
Fedora GCC build, not in FSF GCC build, more info at:

Thanks,
