gdb unable to print alias variable

Hi Devs,
Currently clang does not produce debug info for alias variables, I am
working on this feature, by having DW_TAG_imported_declaration for
alias variable but gdb does not work with this.
below is demonstration

consider this testcase,
-----------
int oldname = 1;
extern int newname attribute((alias("oldname")));
int main(){}
---------------------
$clang test.c -g
$gdb a.out
(gdb) pt oldname
type = int
(gdb) pt newname
type = <data variable, no debug info>
(gdb) p newname
'newname' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type

Here is debug info in ./a.out by clang
dumped debug info (using llvm-dwarfdump)
 test.o: file format elf64-x86-64

 .debug_info contents:

Even though the newname has desired info, gdb is unable to print the
value or type of the newname.
I would like to know whether this is a bug in gdb, or debug info
itself is wrong(because of  DW_TAG_imported_declaration for newname)?
Any other viable path to address alias variable debugging will be appreciated.
