Reading symbols from C:\test\repro.exe...DW_FORM_strp pointing outside of
.debug_str section [in module C:\test\repro.exe]

Same source compiled with gcc work fine.

I've compared asm emitted by clang with that created by gcc, and the difference
seems to be that for inter-debug-section references gcc uses .secrel32 <label>
directive, whereas clang uses .long <label>.   After manually replacing .long's
with .secrel32's and building executable, gdb seemed to like the new debug info
a lot more!

I've run into the same trouble with another project that uses LLVM, so this is
not clang-specific.
