Such as...? Can this be merged into one of them so that we don't have
a separate file? For example "frame.h"?

(I thought asm includes traditionally had different extension, but I
may be mistaken).

And at the very least, dwarf2.h includes

#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
#warning "asm/dwarf2.h should be only included in pure assembly files"
#endif

and guards stuff that would not compile in C with

#ifdef __ASSEMBLY__
....
