The dwarf2 handling of vector constants currently divides the vector into a length (number of elements) and byte element size. This doesn't work well for MODE_VECTOR_BOOL, where several elements are packed into the same byte.
We should probably add a way of encoding this in future, but for now the safest thing is to punt, like we already do for variable-length vectors. Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.
