Yup, the only way to get them is through the debugger intrinsics.

Unfortunately, we do not have a front-end that produces the intrinsics
yet. :(  Adding them to the C frontend would probably be pretty easy
though if you're interested in tackling the project.  Note that 'easy' is
relative to any hacking on GCC...

I'm not sure what you mean here.  You can't write one by hand, or you
can't get the CFE to produce one?
