The problem is that the Clone* functions don't clean up debug info at 
all. This also affects split codegen in LTO (as is, it won't work if you 
have debug info). A work-around is to run something similar to 
StripDeadDebugInfo after cloning - Sergei (cc'ed) has seen some success 
using an approach based on that.
