APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Stabstrings generated for arrays bounded by a static value are
  invalid.  This may cause problems while debugging, or errors
  when compiling with -bstabcmpct:2.  Errors seen in the
  linker -bloadmap output may be similar to the following
  examples:
  
  ---------------------------------
  ld: 0711-377 STABSTRING ERROR:
         Symbol table entry 71, object file test.o
         Type 6 has multiple definitions.
  
  [20] m   0x00000000   -2   0  0x8c    0x0000 :t6=ar0;1;S#1;-13
  [71] m   0x00000000   -2   0  0x8c    0x0000 :t6=ar0;1;S#1;-13
  
  ---------------------------------
  ld: 0711-385 STABSTRING ERROR:
         Symbol table entry 16, object file test2.o
           Integer expected.
           Character # seen.
           Remainder of stabstring is:
   #1;-29
  
  [16] m   0x00000000   -2   0  0x8c    0x0000 :t5=ar0;1;S#1;-29
  
  ---------------------------------
  
  The issue is seen with both Fortran and C/C++ source.
  

Local fix
