Suggestion for more debug symbol folder file layouts (remotely-mounted system ones, debuginfod…)

[illwieckz]

I notice this other issue for a similar problem on Gentoo:

• #4832

On that system the path is:

/usr/lib/debug/lib64/libc.so.6.debug
/usr/lib/debug/lib/libc.so.6.debug

So an additional debug folder look-up should also look for <symbol_folder>/lib*/<exe_name>.debug files.

Note that for debuginfod model of usage, the profiler can spawn a call to debuginfod-find(1) (or make the equivalent http GET itself) to attempt to fetch debuginfo on the fly. It is not stuck looking only for previously received content.
