Thanks for the pointer to the test. That was very helpful in figuring out how 
to invoke clang to produce CodeView/COFF. Funnily enough, it found a bug where 
I didn't realise I had to relax the invariant that a `DIGlobalVariable` needs a 
name in the LL parser.

I wonder whether it's feasible to re-use `FunctionLineTable` to encode 
`line:col` for data symbols. A hack for sure, and left as an exercise for the 
reader.
