* exp_dbug.ads: Fix outdated description. Mention link between XVS
and XVZ objects. * gcc-interface/decl.c (gnat_to_gnu_entity) <E_Record_Subtype>: Set XVZ variable as unit size of XVS type. (maybe_pad_type): Likewise. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk@158703 138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4
