For DWZ files, it seems types can be contained in external DWARF files and are referred to using new forms. The right way to fix this in LLDB it to load each of these external files as a separate DWZ file (no changes needed to anything) and then teach the SymbolFileDWARF that refers to these files to import the types. If we have 24 shared libraries that use a single DWZ, we shouldn't be loading it more than once and inlining the DWARF, we should be using the AST importer to import the type from that file into the AST for the current DWARF file. We do have done this with -gmodules already, so DWZ shouldn't be that different. Let me know if I am missing anything.
