*I* wouldn't, but licensees love to try stuff out even if we don't claim it
works.  Currently, adding -gsplit-dwarf to a command line silently has
no effect.  With your patch, I get:

clang.exe: error: unable to execute command: program not executable

which will inevitably cause a support call and cost us time and effort.
I'd prefer to preserve the "silently has no effect" behavior, at least until
we are able to support this properly.
