The reason that we generate such debug info for DWARF (namely encoding  
"var" parameters as C++ reference parameters) is because the DWARF  
attribute to specify var parameters (DW_AT_variable_parameter) is not  
yet supported by GDB (which is partly my fault, because I never  
submitted a bug about this). You can compile the compiler with - 
dgdb_supports_DW_AT_variable_parameter to make it generate such tags  
instead of reference parameters when using DWARF.

It did work correctly (with DWARF) in GDB 6.8. It broke with 7.0.
