Roll back to before latest update restores debug functions. I checked the notes on LLVM v19 and debug symbols is mentioned

list of packages updated that broke functionality

from llvm v19 notes not sure if this is the cause but I dont see anything else that could of broken this function in the last update.

LLVM has switched from using debug intrinsics internally to using debug records by default. This should happen transparently when using the DIBuilder to construct debug variable information, but will require changes for any code that interacts with debug intrinsics directly. Debug intrinsics will only be supported on a best-effort basis from here onwards; for more information, see the migration docs.

When emitting DWARF v2 and not in strict DWARF mode, LLVM will now add a DW_AT_type to instances of DW_TAG_enumeration_type. This is actually a DWARF v3 feature which tells tools what the enum’s underlying type is. Emitting this for v2 as well will help users who have to build binaries with DWARF v2 but are using tools that understand newer DWARF standards. Older tools will ignore it. (#98335)"

OK I have found the culprit it is the binutils package. When i roll this back to the previous version then debug works correctly. Some great people on the lazarus forum helped me diagnose the issue
