Source Link enables a great source debugging experience for your users, by adding source control metadata to your built assets
Just for the record, for nicer inspection of files with such debug information, including compressed sections, and debuginfod support, Rizin[1] can be used, since starting from the 0.7.0 release[2] all of those were added.

__FILE__ is pain of my existence, recently contributed this code to run/build ds3os using nix instead of docker, where I hit issues with __FILE__

The premise of the tool seems very useful: edit debug symbols and assert messages so that source code can be found by debuggers. But this description does not make it clear how this tool accomplishes the whole task:
> Why not fix the binary coming out of the build cache, so it points to the absolute path of the source files?
What is the absolute path? If you had a virtual file system that allowed you to construct a path to any file at a given commit, this would work great. But who does that other than Google? Or if you agree that every developer will check out the same source code repo at the same path, but the you have to have the right commit checked out.
Ideally you would want your binary to point back to your code repo, like SourceLink does.
