[DWARF] Fix debug intrinsics on Linux (#9866)

* Test DWARF with --release

This would have caught the issue in CI.

It is also closer to what the end user will use.

* [prtest:debug] Use volatile for keep-alive

* Drop __attribute__((retain))

* Run tests in debug as well

* Remove debug testing; add comment
