Can you break this into two patches, one for checking dwfl_getmodules()
failure and the second setting errno?
We should try to avoid these patches that do multiple fixes, as
sometimes one of the fixes isn't really correct and we end up not being
able to use 'git revert' which should be the case when we figure out
that some previous fix wasn't correct.
Thanks for working on this, lemme know if you're busy in which case I
can do this myself.
Best regards,
