Our primary goal should still be to emit standards-compliant DWARF. Or maybe the primary goal is to support existing debuggers and following the standard is second, but we probably should discuss this.


That should happen on the dev lists, and obviously I should kick it off...  I think with a new topic, as the previous one had "target" in the subject and we're agreed not to use that term for what this is about.
It's also not really obvious to me where such a guideline ought to be placed.  But we can debate that on-list as well.

Something odd is going on with clang right now, I'll refresh this patch tomorrow and start that discussion.
