You're right again. I confused a tail call with a (regular) call to a noreturn 
function.

The real reason why I wanted to do that change was to avoid the -1 thingy here. 
If we carried the information about a tail call and the information whether the 
address points before/after the call instruction explicitly,  I believe that 
the -1 here wouldn't be necessary, and the code in `SynthesizeTailCallFrames` 
could just set `behaves_like_frame_zero` depending on what kind of address it 
gets. I have a feeling that would be cleaner, but I have to try it out...

Right, I wanted to mention that as it's not very obvious, but I forgot...

The `[opt]` thingy is not printed at all with -ggdb because the attribute we 
get this information from -- DW_AT_APPLE_optimized -- is only emitted for 
-glldb. The optimization flag did not seem very relevant for these tests (I 
mean, technically the compiler could emit call site attributes even in 
non-optimized mode) so instead of forking the expectations I chose to simply 
remove it.
