Hi. Sorry it took so long to reply. Are the DWARF tests the main blocker
here? There're more features the new code has: backtraces for instance.

I just looked at the dwarf tests, and I see a number of failures that
have appeared because my libc was updated between when the tests were
written and now.

One issue was a crash, that is fixed by the attached patch. A number of
other libc changes cause test failures, but I haven't fixed those yet. I
will probably simply disable those test chunks.

Are you having trouble on your ppc64 box still? Is it worth it for me to
try to replicate that in emulation?
