[patch] Fix executable_for_core for non-dwfl_standard_argp


Hi Mark,

currently dwfl->executable_for_core is private.  It is set from
libdwfl/argp-std.c but it is used also from libdwfl/link_map.c.
Applications not using dwfl_standard_argp () cannot use executable_for_core.

This has effect for running jankratochvil/unwindx86 on RHEL-5.  RHEL-5 does
not have build-ids, therefore its core files do not contain the first page of
each ELF file.  I such case one needs dwfl->executable_for_core to find the
missing program headers (to find DYNAMIC segment).  src/stack.c was working
there (thanks to dwfl_standard_argp ()) but tests/backtrace.c was not, as it
calls dwfl_core_file_report () on its own.

Unfortunately jankratochvil/unwindx86 does not work yet on RHEL-5 but that is
unrelated (there is some race with SIGSTOPs, that will be a different patch).

No testcase here.  It should be reproducible with jankratochvil/unwindx86 on
RHEL-5 hosts.  I could provide a core file generated without the first ELF
page dumping with matching executable but I have not.


Thanks,
Jan
