Consider the DWARF as generated by gcc with the tentative patch to fix gcc
PR91507 - "wrong debug for completed array with previous incomplete
declaration":

The DWARF will result in two entries in the symbol table, a decl with type
char *[] and a def with type char*[2].
When trying to print the value of zzz:
...
$ gdb a.spec.out -batch -ex "p zzz"
...
the decl (rather than the def) will be found in the symbol table, which is
missing the location information, and consequently we get:
...
$1 = 0x601030 <zzz>
...
[ There is a fallback mechanism that finds the address of the variable in the
minimal symbol table, but that's not used here, because the type of the decl
does not specify a size. We could use the symbol size here to get the size
of the type, but that's currently not done: PR exp/24989. Still, fixing that
PR would not fix the generic case, where minimal symbol info is not
available. ]
Fix this by preferring defs over decls when searching in the symbol table.
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.
