It's not clear how you produced this output (which compiler and which
command).  What's the version of that section?  Because it looks like a
DWARF 4 or before section.  GCC 10 produces a DWARF 3 .debug_line
section, even when using -gdwarf-5.

In DWARF 4 and before, a dir_index of 0 referred to the compilation
directory, even if there wasn't an explicit dir[0] value.  See section
6.2.4, bullet 12, of DWARF4.pdf.  So you would look up the DW_AT_comp
attribute of the compilation unit, append "macro.c", and that would give
you the location of that file.

On my side, I see this with gcc 11 (from the Ubuntu 21.04 package):

    root@bc7daa9a3ffc:/# gcc-11 --version
    gcc-11 (Ubuntu 11.1.0-1ubuntu1~21.04) 11.1.0
    root@bc7daa9a3ffc:/# cat test.c
    #include <stdio.h>

    #define FOO

    int main() {
    }
    root@bc7daa9a3ffc:/# gcc-11 -gdwarf-5 -g3 test.c
    root@bc7daa9a3ffc:/# llvm-dwarfdump-12 --debug-line a.out
    ...
    include_directories[  0] = "/usr/include"
    include_directories[  1] = "/usr/include"
    include_directories[  2] = "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits"
    include_directories[  3] = "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys"
    include_directories[  4] = "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnu"
    include_directories[  5] = "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/include"
    include_directories[  6] = "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/types"
    file_names[  0]:
	       name: "test.c"
	  dir_index: 0
    file_names[  1]:
	       name: "test.c"
	  dir_index: 0
    file_names[  2]:
	       name: "stdc-predef.h"
	  dir_index: 1
    file_names[  3]:
	       name: "stdio.h"
	  dir_index: 1

So from what I see, GCC 11 generates a dir[0] entry and a file[0] entry.
However, the dir[0] value does not look good.  It makes it appear
as if my source file was at /usr/include/test.c, which it wasn't (it was
at /test.c).
