I would prefer #3.  You already have to assemble a bunch of pieces to start doing lldb development, I'd rather not add another.  

Also, I'd prefer to have this OFF for debug builds: getting reports of development lldb's crashing is not helpful for anything other than telling whether I (or you, or Greg...) are having a good day...  

If the "allow crash reporting" is a system or user-wide setting, then the best way to do this and NOT force all lldb developers to turn off crash-reporting for the lldb installed on their system is to have some defines that are not set in the debug build.
