[Lldb-commits] [lldb] r257117 - Performance improvement: Change lldb so that it puts a breakpoint

Thanks Siva, I'll revert the change.  I have access to a linux machine but I haven't used it in a long time.  Would it be easy to send me the binary (with debug info) for this test case so I can see what gcc emitted here and figure out how it went wrong?  This test passes with clang on x86_64 darwin but there must be something in gcc's debug info that is confusing it.
