[llvm-dev] lld/coff section name .debug_str is longer than 8 characters

[Carlo Kok via llvm-dev]

Haven't tested latest. But in my last build from a few months ago and all before that I had lld working fine in this regard, emitting both pdb and dwarf (pdb externally and dwarf in the executable). AFAIK this is still working when I pass /debug. The only new thing was the warning
