http://roland.fedorapeople.org/tmp/rawhide-debuginfo-missing-dwarf.bz2 This is a big list (small file) of all the ELF files in rawhide debuginfo rpms that have no DWARF information. Each line looks like e.g.: zenon-debuginfo-0.5.0-3.fc10.i386:usr:lib:debug:usr:bin:zenon.debug meaning that in zenon-debuginfo-0.5.0-3.fc10.i386 the file /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/zenon.debug exists and is an ELF file, but has no DWARF in it. I have not looked at any of the cases. An industrious volunteer could collate all these along with the "missing" cases from the summary, filter out superceded rpms, and categorize the cases. DWARFless ELF files in debuginfo packages are most likely .debug files that contain a symbol table but no DWARF. This might be because the binary was built without -g, which may indicate the package didn't use $RPM_OPT_FLAGS correctly. It's also possibly had 'strip -g' run on it, which would be unusual and presumably happening somewhere inside the upstream makefiles when the package maintainer didn't realize it was happening. It might also be a legitimate case of some other kind of executable generation for some language that never produces DWARF. Other cases might be something odd that should be looked into it. There is probably a lot of overlap with the "src missing" cases, e.g. from whole packages built without -g. There are many individual cases flagged, but I suspect that almost all boil down to the same two or three common issues. We can categorize all the cases and then for each issue either fix the packages, or document the categories that raise red flags in this kind of audit but aren't build problems that can be fixed.
