--- Comment #13 from Joel Brobecker <brobecker at gnat dot com> ---
Sorry guys, but dsymutil is not working very well. I have a couple of examples
where, either dsymutil is excluding some DIEs from the DWARF image, or where
dsymutil actually segfaults. There is also the fact that dsymutil doesn't know
about recent DWARF enhancements, and doesn't work well when compiling code with
-gno-strict-dwarf.
GDB should be able to use the debug info from the object files without
requiring the use of dsymutil. Since we do not control dsymutil and its quality
level (or lack thereof), I suggest the best course of action is trying to
figure out why GDB doesn't pick the debugging info up from the .o files, and
then fix that.
In the meantime, I suggest we revert this change, or else make it optional at
the very least.
PS: Our experiments are on Darwin 13.4 and 14.3.
