            Bug ID: 34488
           Summary: support divining buildids out of non-elf boot-image
                    kernels
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

s390x and aarch64 kernel boot images are not friendly compressed-elf vmlinuz
files that elfutils already knows how to handle.  Ohhhhn o.  They're custom
bootloader-specific compressed and packaged and stapled and filed and indexed
and briefed and debriefed and numbered.

However, the buildid is still in there for debuginfo fetching via debuginfod. 
It can be extracted.  It will be extracted.  There will be happiness.
