[Bug gas/11802] DWARF .debug_line entry has incorrect address if directives used for code

Then why does gas create any DWARF info at all for this?

I am working on an application which generates an ELF/DWARF file from an input
file which contains only the hex code of the instructions, not their mnemonics,
outputting a .long for each 4-byte instruction, and a .loc preceding it to give
the file / line number information.  This output file is then the input file for
gas, which generates an entry in the .debug_line section for each instruction,
but gets the offset of the first instruction wrong by 4 bytes.  There are no
instructions in the .text section of the file input to gas, only the .long
directives, so if gas is not supposed to generate debug info for
.byte/.short/... then surely the .debug_line section should be empty?   That
would have been better than debug data which was almost correct.
