Comment (by bonefish):
Yeah, might be a binutils bug or a Haiku bug. To narrow it down you could
try FreeBSD's or Linux's `objcopy`. If that works, Haiku's `objcopy` for
cross-compilation on FreeBSD/Linux could be tried.
That aside, doesn't the `.eh_frame` section remain in the stripped object?
Or is it reduced to what is actually needed for exception handling? If
remains unchanged, it could still be used.
I skimmed the patch. There are several cast operator instances using the
wrong pointer style and the `find_directory()` thing could be done in a
loop. Moreover, handling the self-contained app case last, you might
actually find the debug info file for a globally installed library before
even trying the "debug" subdirectory of the app directory. At the latest
with package management, applications (including self-contained ones) can
be installed in the installation locations (e.g. under
`/boot/common/apps`). I would first try the relative paths, then try the
"develop/debug" in the respective installation location.
