Perhaps using PUSH() and POP() macros which automatically add .cfi_*
directives?

Conditionally defining the PUSH() and POP() macros to omit the .cfi_*
stuff when debugging is disabled?
Of course using a script to parse the asm is SO much more slick... but
you probably don't want to add too many dependencies to your build process
either. Would it have to be just a plain shell script?
Thanks for your feedback, AD
