For example:

DW_AT_abstract_origin [DW_FORM_ref_addr]
(0x000000000515d936 "_ZN12lldb_private17StoppointLocationD2Ev")

DW_AT_high_pc [DW_FORM_udata] (1)
DW_AT_frame_base [DW_FORM_exprloc] (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites [DW_FORM_flag_present] (true)
DW_AT_sibling [DW_FORM_ref_udata] (cu + 0x1da4f =>

DW_AT_location [DW_FORM_exprloc] (DW_OP_reg5 RDI)
0x0193b072: NULL
This DIE describes only a concrete function instance at address 0x0.
No function can exist on address 0x0 on x86_64, that is
a discarded/deduplicated function:
[Dwarf-Discuss] DWARF for linker GC'd code
http://lists.dwarfstd.org/pipermail/dwarf-discuss-dwarfstd.org/2020-July/004683.html
I do not see what any DWARF consumer could find out from such a DIE.
And there are many such DIEs, something a bit less than 28% of what DWZ saves
(28% is incl. removal of DW_UT_type declarations).
