Looking at the build log I have the feeling that llvm-dsymutil wasn't built at all. I spotted that I used the 'dsymutil' name in LLVMBuild.txt, maybe that's it. I'm just surprised that it isn't break in any of my builds.

I see. Thanks for the explanation!

It is strictly needed only for common globals (this patch doesn't treat the commons differently from other globals, so the symbol table is read if you have any kind of global... which I guess you always have). Yeah, this `optimization` looks at least premature, if not totally useless. I'll drop it.

> No because symbols from the object file are always useful. The debug map contains names associated with linked addresses (with the exception of common globals that need to be looked up in the binary), these linked addresses need to be correlated with the object file addresses that we always lookup in the object file's symbol table (and any defined symbol is of interest).
