Now I'm not entirely sure if this is supported by V4,


Yep, base address selection entries in location lists are a feature of
DWARF4 (& DWARF3 for that matter) - so this is a conforming change. (you
can check DWARF specs here: http://dwarfstd.org/Download.php )

Nope - there's no flags, etc, for this feature. dsymutil built from LLVM
does support this feature, though - so you can build & use the latest
dsymutil to go with your clang/llvm compilers.
