The documentation is slightly outdated, as stabs has hardly any support
for debugging optimized code. Better stick with DWARF2/3.

Note that the debugger behavior is usually expected considering
the debugging information generated by the compiler. I heard there
is some effort to improve the debugging information, but generally
