With "recoverable" you mean that dwz did do compression, but could not
deliver optimal compression?

It would be good to have an ack from the dwz developers that 1 to 16
are "recoverable" errors (I added dwz@sourceware.org to CC).

Would it be possible to tweak the find-debuginfo.sh script to avoid
them? e.g. Could we see how many arguments we have so that we only use
-m when there are 1+ debug files? And/Or detect debug files using
different endianess and ptr sizes so they are processed in different
batches?

Ideally an error code from dwz means something went terribly wrong and
we abort find-debuginfo.sh. IMHO.

Cheers,

Mark
