By the way, you can handle this scenario easily enough by running a
local temporary copy of elfutils debuginfod, giving it a list of your
build subdirectories:
debuginfod -p 8003 -d :memory: -F /build/tree/1 /build/tree/2 &
export DEBUGINFOD_URLS=http://localhost:8003/
The toolchain can then find sources & binaries & debuginfo.
