void foo(void *ptr) {
  int arr[100] = {1};
  use(ptr, arr);
}


when compiled with clang -O2 -c -g -march=btver2 (on native linux) generates a
one-entry location list for 'ptr' instead of a DW_AT_location entry with a
single location expression. The recent change r262247 seems to have something
to do with it since before this change a DW_AT_location was generated.
