Stefan's talking about the macro (or function) F that invokes eassert,
not eassert itself.  If F is a macro, eassert outputs the line
number of F's caller.  If F is a function, it outputs F's line number.
If F is small, he'd often rather see the former.

Since the complaint is about the addr2line hassle I expect the
problem could be addressed by doing the addr2line work inside Emacs.
In the long run that would be better than forcing the use of macros
rather than functions purely because of crash debug output.
