--- Comment #16 from Mark Wielaard <mark at klomp dot org> ---
Various self tests fail when everything is build with LTO.

In particular various files contain .gnu.lto_ sections with SHF_EXCLUDE set.
This is an interesting flag since it is treated as a generic section flag, but
really isn't. I proposed the following patch to work around it for now:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2020q2/002625.html
But see also the following discussion:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2020-April/110691.html

Another issue is that ET_REL files don't contain normal DWARF .debug_ sections,
but .gnu.debuglto_.debug_* sections. Which libdw doesn't recognize. Still
working on that.
