But isn't this a consumer issue then?  If there is no line info for
a PC range then gdb shouldn't display any.

There's more DECL_IGNORED_P decls (like functions emitted by
profile instrumentation), which do not have any source correspondence.

So IMHO the fix should be to make a more nuanced DECL_IGNORED_P
for thunks if it is really necessary to emit debug info for them.
For example by making them DECL_ARTIFICIAL only (not sure why
we end up with them DECL_IGNORED_P - there might be a reason).
