Taking a simpler case, where there is no parameter on the function call: a 
C++ function has inlined a Fortran function.  In the debug information, 
data structures used by both functions are brought together into a single 
compilation unit.  The compilation unit is now made up of two different 
languages.  Since the name-lookup semantics for DW_TAG_imported_module is 
different depending on the language, debugger needs a way to differentiate 
between the two types.  (The language attribute on the CU doesn't help in 
this case).

I guess an easy way to solve this problem is to add an DW_AT_language 
attribute to the TAG.  (And if the language attribute is missing, then use 
the CU language attribute).

Thanks,
