Looking for more information about DW_OP_push_object_address, I found a 
thread from 2007[1] in which Jan Kratochvil submits patches for VLAs 
handling on the gdb-patches@ mailing list, including support for this 
operation. It seems that these patches were never pushed, though[2].

As Joel said, today we have VLAs handling in GDB, but not this specific 
hunk.
