Is it possible to overflow baton->size in dwarf_mark_symbols_computed() in dwarf2read.c?

No.  It should saturate instead; it only needs to be longer than any
supported location list/expression, and 64k is entirely reasonable for
that.  Int would waste a lot of memory.

Could you try that?  Something like if (expression < 65536) ->size =
expression; else size = 65535;
