OK; so my testing was deficient... but maybe we're not speaking of the
same 'correct handling'? 

I thought that we had issues with relocating the debug information
coming from different linkonce sections against the only one kept in the
linked file... but that definitely works for me on a simple example. 

So I guess that we're referring to more deeply broken cases (for example
when debug info is generated for a linkonce section of which all
instances will get discarded). And I indeed have no idea how to generate
such a case even by resorting to my more convoluted template-fu :-)

You're right, it's much nicer like this. I checked the attached in.

(Oh, and thanks for fixing the date in my previous ChangeLog entry)
