Looks like there is no explicit check of optimization level (above "-O0"), 
neither on frontend nor backend for entry-values generation. I think it is the 
situation since there should not be any optimization (at least that I am aware 
of, in the case of C/C++) that would cause the entry-values generation...

Yeah... That is valuable example... I am thinking in that direction as well, 
and I am closer to the enabling it for -O0 case if that is useful (and there is 
no dramatic cost in terms of DWARF size).
