Have to see if I can easily debug that.
The following gets rid of the remaining issues (also fixing a mistake I made with DW_TAG_imported_unit which is now created over and over again). It also does a few simplifications where possible. LTO bootstrap and regtest in progress on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Richard. 2018-09-25 Richard Biener <rguent...@suse.de> PR debug/83941 * dwarf2out.c (add_AT_external_die_ref): Remove now redundant GC-ification. (maybe_create_die_with_external_ref): Do not create DW_TAG_imported_unit here. (add_abstract_origin_attribute): Handle external BLOCK refs. (dwarf2out_abstract_function): Simplify LTO case. (dwarf2out_early_finish): Create DW_TAG_imported_unit explicitely rather than using maybe_create_die_with_external_ref.
