Normally, I would say that we should be resilient to debug info
bugs. In this particular case, the decision is a little harder
to take, because it appears that the bug does not appear in a
GCC release (and hopefully won't); and also, the fix is in a
sensitive area... That being said, I don't have a particular
objection to the fix if it doesn't complexify the code too much,
and some comments are added.
