working with debug symbols

Probably not for you, but there are a few cases where they are. 
(Specifically when generating code for a 64-bit x86 Mach-O target, or a 
32-bit x86 target on a system where the assembler does not support the 
GOTOFF relocation in data sections).  You can easily compile a small 
test application to find out.
