Bug 11814

tonyj @ suse reports a case where translator.cxx appears to emit
incorrect buildid-offset values into stap-symbols.h, which leads
to verification errors & aborted scripts.

the buildid-offset should be on the order of a few dozen, since runtime/sym.c
properly relocates .ko buildids against the .notes section base.  However,
stap was found to emit ...

tonyj Found build-id in libata, length 20, end at 0x87d7c
tonyj build_id_offset = 0x87d7c - 0x4bd00= 0x3c07c

It appears as if translate.cxx:5384, the XXX section related to build_id_offset
calculation, is neglecting to perform elfutils relocation on the incoming
vaddr for .ko files.
 
There is no theory yet as to why only some .ko's are manifesting this problem.
