I wanted to check that I'm headed in the right direction before I work more on LLVM debug info. What I'd like to do is update DIBuilder to expose exactly the facilities represented in modern DWARF, and to store that in the bitcode. In LLVM we would have a DwarfOpts that specifies the major version of DWARF we're targetting and some additional compatibility flags to work around debugger deficiencies. So for example, DIBuilder's interface has no createPtrToMemberType() which is odd since it's been there since DWARF 2, but gcc didn't emit that...
