The debugging doesn't work with gdb and for example Intel vtune 
profiler crashes when trying to read the debug info. I wonder why 
gdb doesn't complain of missing debug info when omitting the -g 
flag.

On linux things seem to work fine.

This sounds like a LLVM problem placing the debug info in the 
wrong location.
I try to check this with LLVM 3.4 (the binary distribution is 
compiled with LLVM 3.3).
