As there is DW_AT_declaration present according to the DWARF spec such DIE
cannot represent an <optimized out> variable:
DWARF3 4.1 point 4:
# In a variable entry representing the definition of a variable (that is, with
# no DW_AT_declaration attribute) if no location attribute is present [...],
# the variable is assumed to exist in the source code but not in the executable
# program [...]

Currently the compiler cannot optimize out variables referenced from other
compilation units.
