[Dwarf-Discuss] DWARF: extend DW_TAG_compile_unit entry with one more attribute, DW_TAG_hash_value

[Michael Eager]

Please submit proposals using the Public Comment page on the DWARF 
website:  http://dwarfstd.org/Comment.php

It is best if you specify the sections of the standard to be modified as 
well as any new text to be added.  Give a rationale for the change and 
any benefit or cost of the change.
