Right; my language wasn’t precise.

I was debugging libLTO.dylib, which I hadn’t done since I switched from
configure to cmake.  I didn’t get any symbols in lldb until I ran
dsymutil and loaded them manually.  Last time I debugged libLTO.dylib
(with configure+make), I hadn’t had to run dsymutil.

However, I’ve just tried to reproduce the problem on a trivial test case
and it’s gone.  I can’t remember what my environment was at the time,
but it looks like user error, or at least unrelated to cmake!
