--- Comment #2 from Martin Cermak <mcermak at redhat dot com> ---
This can be replicated with rhel8 (works) versusus rhel9 (doesn't work).  But I
don't think it's related to kernel:  After copying my test binary from rhel8
over to rhel9 (and making sure it's md5-identical, things started to work even
on rhel9!

The following comes from my rhel8 binary where things work fine:

Now here's what my rhel9 binary shows:

I've verified that -march, doesn't cause the difference.  But enforcing DWARF4
on rhel9 with `gcc -gdwarf-4` makes things work again on rhel9!  So I think
it's the DWARF version that makes the difference :)


The print_ubacktrace_fileline() call propagates down to
_stp_linenumber_lookup(address, task, &filename, ...) which already returns the
NULL filename.  Stepping in, this calls _stp_linenumber_lookup(), which returns
struct _stp_module with a NULL debug_line member.  Looking farther...
