  gcc: avoid generating negative values to DW_AT_byte_size.
  
  There is a bug in gcc (GCC/35998) where dwarf reports
  sizes of unsigned -1 (0xffffffff).
  
  On NetBSD this generated a faulty CTF entry which then
  caused a segfault in ctfmerge. The issue was worked
  around in NetBSD's Dtrace but since the issue originated
  in gcc, it seems reasonable to fix it here.
  
  Thanks to Christoph Mallon for pointing out a correct fix.
