[And this time, actually CCing the list :)].

Gentlemen!

Reading in the compiler state for pch (gt_pch_restore) obliterates the
DIE table, and consequently the DW_TAG_GNU_[BE]INCL* DIEs that may have
been in it.  This causes inconsistencies when reading in _any_
pre-compiled header into a source file that uses
-feliminate-dwarf2-dups, and consequently already has some
DW_TAG_GNU_[BE]INCL* DIEs.

Normally the DIE table should be empty this early on, especially since
mainline generates dwarf at the end of the compilation unit, but the DIE
table may have DW_TAG_GNU_[BE]INCL* DIEs that were created early by
dwarf2out_start_source_file/etc or it may have the DW_TAG_compile_unit.

I suppose we could merge incoming DIEs with existing DIEs and complicate
our lives, but considering we will probably have to tackle this in the
debug-early work, I propose we disable this combination for now (and
possibly permanently, unless we really care about it).

OK for mainline pending tests?

Wouldn't it be better to disable PCH reading if -feliminate-dwarf2-dups
is used?  I mean, fail to read the PCH silently (or with warning for -Wpch
or what the warning is about why PCH couldn't be read or was ignored),
perhaps error out if you try to generate PCH with -feliminate-dwarf2-dups?

In the abstract, perhaps, but given

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53118

I'd prefer to disable the useless thing.  :)

We might actually disable -feliminate-dwarf2-dups entirely until that 
bug is fixed.
