[LLVMdev] [patch] DwarfDebug problem with line section

[Artur Pietrek]

Hi Devang,

Thanks for working on that. Unfortunately after your change it still doesn't
work (I've tried x86 and our backend under Linux).
The problem is that you put difference between two labels

.Lset7 = .Lsection_line_begin-.Lsection_line ## DW_AT_stmt_list

and that will be evaluated by assembler to a constant. It has to be a label,
not a constant, because it is the linker who knows the correct offset.
