FTR - for those who do not follow bugzilla PRs, we have found that
dsymutil is not working well at all: missing DWARF dies, SEGVs, not
working well with -gno-strict-dwarf.

As said in the PR, I don't think this is the right solution,
particularly since we don't have any control on dsymutil's quality
and features. I suggest we revert this patch, and try to understand
why GDB wasn't able to pull the debugging info from the executable
(assuming that's still an issue).

Thanks,
