I've tracked down the problem.
When I build the lookup example as
$ clang++ main.cpp -I../../include -llldb -g -frtti
It works.
However when I build it as:
$ clang++ main.cpp -I../../include -llldb -g -frtti *-fPIE -pie*
It fails to symbolize itself. While objdump -dSl symbolizes it (shows line
numbers inside of functions). If I build a program with gcc with -fPIE
-pie, it also able to symbolize itself (with lldb).
So, the problem seems to be in tricky interaction of clang, lldb and -pie.
It's all Linux/amd64 and tip clang.
