Consider a hello world, compiled with -gsplit-dwarf and dwarf version 4, and
-g3:
...
$ gcc -gdwarf-4 -gsplit-dwarf /data/vries/hello.c -g3 -save-temps -dA
...
In section .debug_macro.dwo, we have:
...
.Ldebug_macro0:
.value 0x4 # DWARF macro version number
.byte 0x2 # Flags: 32-bit, lineptr present
.long .Lskeleton_debug_line0
.byte 0x3 # Start new file
.uleb128 0 # Included from line number 0
.uleb128 0x1 # file /data/vries/hello.c
.byte 0x5 # Define macro strp
.uleb128 0 # At line number 0
.uleb128 0x1d0 # The macro: "__STDC__ 1"
...
Given that we use a DW_MACRO_define_strp, we'd expect 0x1d0 to be an
offset into a .debug_str.dwo section.
But in fact, 0x1d0 is an index into the string offset table in
section .debug_str_offsets.dwo:
...
.long 0x34f0 # indexed string 0x1d0: __STDC__ 1
...
Add asserts that catch this inconsistency, and fix this by using
DW_MACRO_define_strx instead.
Tested on x86_64.

choice for v4 .debug_macro.dwo. Add asserts to check that choice.
