you might want to take a look at this llvm-gcc commit:

r137753 | dpatel | 2011-08-16 23:03:26 +0200 (Tue, 16 Aug 2011) | 3 lines

DIBuilder is moving forward to reduce in memory use by MDNodes. However, 
DIFactory does not emit debug info in updated form.
Use LLVMDebugVersion10 directly here so that debug info nodes produced by 
DIFactory do not claim to adhere newer structure.

Ciao, Duncan.
