@goperhbot, please add label Debugging

Given this code:

type astruct struct { ... }

the linker produces two DIEs: (1) a DW_TAG_structure_type DIE and (2) a
DW_TAG_typedef_type DIE having (1) as its type attribute.

All subsequent references to 'typename' should use the
DW_TAG_typedef_type DIE, not the DW_TAG_structure_type. Mostly this is
true but sometimes one reference will use the DW_TAG_structure_type
directly.

For example in https://play.golang.org/p/7wzwauGH2kT with 0f72e79 we have main.bvar0 pointing to the DW_TAG_structure_type of main.bstruct but main.bvar1 and main.bvar2 pointing to the DW_TAG_typedef_type. And *main.astruct using the DW_TAG_structure_type but main.globalvar using the typedef.

The bug depends on the order in which the linker scans the type, global variable and function symbols so different versions of the linker may produce slightly different results.
