These are harmless, and have been showing up for at least a year now.
Clang is just notifying you that due to DWARF2 limitations, it will not
emit debug info for more than one code section.

All such warnings in our tree are about artificially added sections,
such as .note.GNU-stack, .reloc and __xen_guest, and it is not likely
that anybody cares that those sections will not have debug info.

Lastly, I never found an option to shut up the warnings.  Well, apart
from using -gdwarf-4. :-)
