Hi!

DW_AT_bit_offset on little-endian targets often has negative values,
if we encode it as add_AT_unsigned, it needs DW_FORM_data8 for HWI 64
and DW_FORM_data4 for HWI 32.  But the numbers are usually small negative
values, so encoding them using DW_FORM_sdata is much more compact.

Fixed thusly, bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux,
ok for 4.7?

DWARF4 obsoletes DW_AT_bit_offset with DW_AT_data_bit_offset, but
this patch doesn't try to change it for -gdwarf-4, that would be more work
(and most probably gdb doesn't handle it yet either).

	PR debug/47946
	* dwarf2out.c (add_bit_offset_attribute): If bit_offset is negative,
	emit it as add_AT_int instead of add_AT_unsigned.

Unfortunately you are right -- GDB doesn't handle DW_AT_data_bit_offset.
If you want to do that, let me know and I will write a GDB patch for it.

Ok for 4.7.
