The compiler may choose not to emit type information in DWARF for
external symbols. Clang, for example, does this for symbols not
defined in the current TU.
To provide a way to work around this issue, add support for
__gendwarfksyms_ptr_<symbol> pointers that force the compiler to emit
the necessary type information in DWARF also for the missing symbols.
Example usage:
#define GENDWARFKSYMS_PTR(sym) \
static typeof(sym) *__gendwarfksyms_ptr_##sym __used \
__section(".discard.gendwarfksyms") = &sym;
extern int external_symbol(void);
GENDWARFKSYMS_PTR(external_symbol);
