Or that debug info is broken in the tools you are using :-). What target
triple are you using for the tools? 

If you have a particular patch that you can verify works for you, we could
try it. Note that -gdwarf wouldn't be advisable because dwarf 1 has lousy
support for C++ debugging. -gdwarf-2 would be better, if that helps.

I haven't reached any mips tools yet. I'm still testing the x86 due to some
internal difficulties.
