So if I am right, I should do the following: 1) Run "perf buildid-list" and catch all the <file path, build-ids> pairs. 2) First check for the existence of the file path.3) If failed, concatenate "~/.debug", file path, "/" and buildid and useit as the alternative.you missed the trailing "/elf" but otherwise yes :)I thought that GDB is smart enough to detect these situations in the same way that it detects debug info files. Should I check any directory other than ~/.debug?Hmm good point, GDB should indeed do that by default but maybe it doesn't doit for the `file` command for some reason? I cannot answer this, sorry.

You can try to parse the output of `perf buildid-list` to get a mapping that can be used to run this on another person's machine. E.g. ``` $ perf buildid-list 5837b1e7495db791f9a3a56fb6ca29958da75b0c [kernel.kallsyms] 845f98f6a3019620c37a2f611b2f20c27de83d5b /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/ hotspot/build/tests/test-clients/cpp-parallel/cpp-parallel f6ca5853dae87d9f0503a9ef230f6d1fa15a832d /usr/lib/ld-2.30.so 92883b06055e8e21ded8eb0cd5a61f5704531152 [vdso] 8b04d1825b63d9a600e3d57ac71058935e7ad757 /usr/lib/libpthread-2.30.so 09639b80a8fad179004f2484608764d2b336dd4a /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.27 33d1f350f13728651d74dd2a56bad1e4e4648f5e /usr/lib/libc-2.30.so $ file ~/.debug/usr/lib/ld-2.30.so/f6ca5853dae87d9f0503a9ef230f6d1fa15a832d/ elf /home/milian/.debug/usr/lib/ld-2.30.so/ f6ca5853dae87d9f0503a9ef230f6d1fa15a832d/elf: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=f6ca5853dae87d9f0503a9ef230f6d1fa15a832d, not stripped ``` I'm afraid to say that I currently don't have the time required to be of more help in debugging this issue in general. Good luck!
