[lldb-dev] about the error:unable to restore file position to 0x00000ab0 for section __DWARF.__debug_info

[Greg Clayton]

If you are compiling with clang the the following option is not on by default in older builds of the compiler. This issue has been resolved recently, but try adding:

-flimit-debug-info

To your OTHER_CFLAGS.
