gdb issues w/nested C funcs

[dae3]

gdb still cannot "see" local variables in a nested C function. This is
reported in PR 1195¹ and 1379².

As the reports are 5 year old by now, I'm wondering whether any work is
being done on this, or if some kind of workaround exists (aside from
avoiding nested functions, not an option in my current project). Using
Dwarf-2 does not solve the issue.
