Callgrind output doesn't work with DWARF v4

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a binary with a recent gcc, using DWARF v4 debugging information.
2. Run the profiling tool.
3. Attempt to output a callgrind file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect a callgrind-compatible file, what I actually get is a set of warnings 
from Perl. e.g.
Use of uninitialized value in string comparison (cmp) at pprof line 1286.

The problem appears to be due to a couple of things.
1) Recent addr2line tools output (discriminator n) suffixes where there are 
multiple paths through the code on a single line.
2) Recent addr2line tools use ? for an unknown line number rather than 0.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Git revision 3c326d9 (19 August 2014)
Ubuntu 14.04.1

Please provide any additional information below.

This is a patch that fixes the problem (though I admit this is more of a 
workaround).

Subject: [PATCH] Cope with new addr2line outputs for DWARF4

Copes with ? for line number (converts to 0).
Copes with (discriminator <num>) suffixes to file/linenum (removes).
