readelf can see it just fine:

But with big-endian:
[davem@localhost binutils]$ ./readelf --debug-dump=loc ./xeb.o
readelf: Warning: Invalid pointer size (0) in compunit header, using 4 instead
readelf: Warning: Bogus end-of-siblings marker detected at offset 27 in

readelf: Warning: DIE at offset 0x29 refers to abbreviation number 48 which

readelf: Warning: Unable to load/parse the .debug_info section, so cannot

yeah. clang emitted dwarf for big-endian is broken.
This dwarf stuff is too complicated for normal human beings.
The tight packing making debugging it quite painful.
