It is currently not possible to use variables in locations lists. For
example, with:
diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/loclists-multiple-cus.exp b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/loclists-multiple-cus.exp

That means $myconst was copied literally to the generated assembly
file.
This patch fixes it, by running subst on the location list body, in
the context of the caller. The fix is applied to both
Dwarf::loclists::table::list_::start_length and
Dwarf::loclists::table::list_::start_end.
