cmd/ld: don't generate DW_AT_type attr for unsafe.Pointer to match gcc behavior
gcc generates only attr DW_AT_byte_size for DW_TAG_pointer_type of "void *", but we used to also generate DW_AT_type pointing to imaginary unspecified type "void", which confuses some gdb. This change makes old Apple gdb 6.x (specifically, Apple version gdb-1515) accepts our binary without issue like this: (gdb) b 'main.main' Die: DW_TAG_unspecified_type (abbrev = 10, offset = 47079) has children: FALSE attributes: DW_AT_name (DW_FORM_string) string: "void" Dwarf Error: Cannot find type of die [in module /Users/minux/go/go2.hg/bin/go] Special thanks to Russ Cox for pointing out the problem in comment #6 of CL 7891044.
