die__process_unit: DW_TAG_member (0xd) @ <0x31> not handled!

[pjonsson]

The pahole installed in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (pahole --version says v1.25) can read x86-64/ARM binaries just fine, but fails on MSP430:

$ pahole build/sky/obj/nullframer.o
die__process_unit: DW_TAG_member (0xd) @ <0x31> not handled!
die__process_unit: tag not supported 0xd (member)!
die__process_unit: DW_TAG_member (0xd) @ <0x3f> not handled!
die__process_unit: DW_TAG_member (0xd) @ <0x4d> not handled!
die__process: got compile_unit unexpected tag after DW_TAG_compile_unit!

Same file built for a different target:

$ pahole build/zoul/remote-revb/obj/nullframer.o 
struct framer {
	int                        (*length)(void);      /*     0     4 */
	int                        (*create)(void);      /*     4     4 */
	int                        (*parse)(void);       /*     8     4 */

	/* size: 12, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
	/* last cacheline: 12 bytes */
};

Attaching the failing object file so the issue can be reproduced without installing an old MSP430-compiler. nullframer.ZIP

Its really strange, the DW_TAG_structure_type after DW_TAG_compile_unit and DW_TAG_member is being skipped somehow by elfutils:
