You can trigger the issue by compiling the following:
$ cat 1.cpp
int &foo() { throw; }
int &&bar() { throw; }
$ g++ -g 1.cpp -c
and then running
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../libelf:../libdw ./funcretval -e 1.o
What would be a good way to integrate such a testcase?
Currently all tests are built with gcc, is it okay to add one
built with g++? If not, I guess the alternative would be to check in
multiple compressed object files built for different platforms?

Sounds reasonable. Here is what I have on x86_64:
<1><5a>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_reference_type)
<5b> DW_AT_byte_size : 8
<1><80>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_rvalue_reference_type)
<81> DW_AT_byte_size : 8
IIUC these checks handle weird compilers that do not emit
DW_AT_byte_size.

Oh, right, this issue seems to affect all of them.
