So you only got 4 FAILs.

FAIL: run-backtrace-native.sh
FAIL: run-backtrace-dwarf.sh
FAIL: run-backtrace-native-core.sh
FAIL: run-deleted.sh

And they all seem to fail in the same way. You get a backtrace, but
almost all symbol names come out empty/null.

But your configure line does contain -g so you should at least get it
for the elfutils libraries and (test) programs. The only possible
issue with your configure line is the use of -fdebug-prefix-map which
I believe doesn't work correctly when also using LTO.

And maybe your /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 might not have any symbols?

Cheers,

Mark
