I don't think dwfl_module_addrsym () really has anything to do with the
ppc64 ABI since all it does is resolve an address to a symbol in a table
we happen to have at hand (how is libdwfl specific, and it happens to be
the function descriptor in the case of ppc64 in some cases, with the
st_value adjusted). That symbol has a particular name that we just
return. You might want to ask about how backtraces on ppc64 should print
(function) names, but IMHO that is separate from the string that
dwfl_module_addrsym () happens to return.

Cheers,

Mark
