[Bug translator/4886] stap should validate debuginfo files

[roland at gnu dot org]

------- Additional Comments From roland at gnu dot org  2007-08-19 20:11 -------
The CRC check serves only to validate that a separate debuginfo file matches a
corresponding stripped file.  In the case of vmlinux, we do not normally have
any stripped file on hand, only the unstripped file complete with debuginfo. 
Hence, there are no two things here to compare.  

In contrast, validation based on build IDs has the same bits to compare in at
least two places (and maybe three), the additional one being the running kernel
itself.
