[Interest] Qt 5.6.0 beta / Mac / lldb / Debug Symbols

[Croitor Alexandr]

Isn't the issue that the debug symbols are not shipped in the first place?
They usually reside in the object files, or are extracted into a dsym archive, and neither are shipped with the binary installation.

So placing the sources at the original compiled path won't really help.
