If we move implementation of updating contributions entires after parsing we just stop updating further. I think with this approach we can handle the common case of how things are now in reality, and on of chance the assumption fails we are no worse than we were before. Although it does assume that with wrong abbrev. getDWOID doesn't crash.... What do you think?

Thus we can use abbrev to parse unit die to get DWO ID (since this is DWARF4 and it's one of the attributes). Then use DWO ID to figure out which contribution we need to modify.

It will be very doubtful that you will have two 32 bit CU offsets that truncate to the same offset. It could happen, but very unlikely. So I would rather we don't assume anything about .debug_abbrev layout and parse the standard 32 bit CU index first, and then to find the .debug_abbrev offset, we find the truncated 32 bit CU offset in the list.

If we have the wrong abbrev table, then we might get decoding errors, or we might not, so this will be the tricky part to get right. You could rely on ordering etc to help try and get the right abbrev table as you were doing, but you only need to do this _if_ you have multiple matches.

OK, sounds like we are on same page on what you proposed. 
@dblaikie what do you think?
