I did a quick experiment with C name managing with GCC and -flto. It turns out the `DW_AT_linkage_name` field of `DW_TAG_subprogram` is never set for C programs. If set, the gdb debugger will use that field to match the user input and set breakpoints. Therefore, giving `DW_AT_linkage_name` a uniquefied name prevents the debugger from setting a breakpoint based on source names unless the user specifies a decorated name. Hence, this approach sounds like a workaround for us when the profile quality matters more than debugging experience. I'm inclined to have it under a switch. What do you think?
