  This was an oversight in 491144b5e21bbfd41969c175aebb663976f59058;
dwarf2loc.c has an extern definition for dwarf_always_disassemble
that I missed. This patch updates it from int to bool to match
the definition in dwarf2read.c.

Hi Christian,

I think we should take that opportunity to fix the problem in a way
that would have prevented this mistake and make things cleaner.

Can you try to move the declaration of dwarf_always_disassemble to dwarf2read.h,
remove the declaration from dwarf2loc.c, and make dwarf2loc.c include dwarf2read.h?
I think it's just for historical reasons that this variable has a local declaration
in dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2read.h exists since not so long ago), but as we saw it's a
bit dangerous to do it this way.

Simon
