[LLVMdev] Minimizing -gmlt

[Eric Christopher]

DW_AT_frame_base is largely used as a beginning offset to find things for
other expressions, for example it can be used to short cut location
information for variables (+/- from the frame base which could be a
complicated expression) or used to find captured variables that might be on
another function's stack (largely nested functions). It can also help with
giving a shortcut for inlined function stack frames if they're distinct,
but afaik we don't do that :)

So unless we're going to start giving out variable contents with gmlt we
don't need to worry.
