This seems insufficient for debugging, see below.

I thought ASIS only has "high-level" information prior to the 
target-dependent object-code generation and linking. I think the 
debugger will need the link map, information about the stack frame 
layouts, record layouts, etc, which is not in the ASIS domain. Am I 
wrong?
