DebugLocLists with no entries: any idea how to generate a testcase?

[David Blaikie]

Can't say I know of any particular situations that cause this (I guess it's
trickier than just a variable that's optimized away entirely) - I'd just
start reducing an existing test case (probably add the assertion and try a
non-LTO build, hope that it reproduces there, then just creduce any
specific file where it reproduces)
