Subject: [patch] Fix DWARF-3+ DW_AT_accessibility default assumption

Hi,

GDB regresses on default compiler option -gdwarf-3 on gcc-4.6+ as this gcc
started to omit DW_AT_accessibility for the default value case.  Normal
upstream gcc still has -gdwarf-2 default (Fedora uses -gdwarf-3 default).

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora15-linux-gnu.
(There are other regressions to be fixed due to gcc45->gcc46.)

I will check it in in some time.


Thanks,
Jan
