I think Jim is absolutely right here with his very useful reply. It looks
like gdb ignores the prologue end stuff entirely (which makes sense since
it doesn't look like gcc outputs it), and it sets the breakpoint on the
second line table entry. But in this case:

0x00400764  [   6, 0] NS uri: "/home/mikesart/data/src/blah2/blah.cpp"
> 0x00400796  [   6, 0] NS
> 0x004007bd  [  10, 0] NS
> 0x004007ea  [  11, 0] NS


gdb is treating 0x004007bd as the second line table entry, and lldb is
treating 0x00400796 as the second. This is pretty clear with the
disassembly output down below.

The problem in this case is that second block with the sse movaps
instructions isn't run, so the breakpoint is never hit.

So I think the change would be in how lldb handles what the second line
table entry is? Ie, skip duplicate entries.
