There is not much info here. The error says one debug info entry (DIE) is
referring to another debug info entry that does not exist. This usually
indicates that dwarf generator in llvm codegen knew about the other DIE but
some how gdb does not find the DIE. May be the code generator did not emit
the DIE ? If yes then why ?  Otherwise, the DIE was dropped somewhere after
 compiler generated code.
