Actually this is different from your description. I expect
DW_TAG_variable
DW_AT_name: __stack_pointer
DW_AT_type: <pointer_type> (void *)
But it seems your DWARF has
DW_TAG_variable
DW_AT_name: current_stack_pointer
DW_AT_type: <base_type> (long unsigned int)

I think you can just use strdup(global_die->name).

It seems all you need is the name of the variable. Can we simply pass
the name instead of Dwarf_Global?

Hmm.. maybe we can just collect variables (not their types) directly,
then we can get the name from the variable DIE without saving it in
the struct die_var_type.
Thanks,
