For example, suppose I have code that is used to generate the initialization expression for a static variable. A similar example would be a default constructor, or any of the various implicit casting functions used when dealing with dynamic types. Now, although that code is in an LLVM function, that function was synthesized by the compiler and was never defined in any source file, so even if I were to create a DISubprogram scope for it, there's no valid source location information for it.

You can just create DISubprogram and set isArtificial flag to indicate that this is a compiler generated function. You can pick your main source file as the file and 0 for the line number here.
