Public bug reported:
Summary:
* GDB 10.0 introduced a regression where it cannot inspect any global
variables in any D programs compiled by any D compiler.
* LDC2 and GDC upstream stated Focal does not have such a problem and stuck to
this release for their test images.
Reproduce steps:
Considering the following D program:
```
module t;
class uv {
int i;
}
__gshared uv i;
int main() {
i = new uv();
return 0; // #break
}
```
If you build it using `gdc -g -O0 t.d -o t` or `ldc2 -o t.o t.d -g`, run
the GDB using the following commands ...
```
b t.d:10
p t.i
```
... you will notice GDB will complain that "'t.i' has unknown type; cast
it to its declared type."
