  Target Milestone: ---

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #22136 +++

We need a way to identify "debug" info files, which appear like they are ELF
files but if inspected are actually missing a lot of information and can't =
be
properly parsed without the original DSO or executable.

To that end I suggest we adopt:

* ET_GNU_DEBUG_EXEC
* ET_GNU_DEBUG_DYN
* ET_GNU_DEBUG_REL

As ways to mark these files a debug information files. We can place them in=
to
the OS-specific area, and audit that we don't overlap anything important fr=
om
other OSs.

We would need new binutils options to edit, adjust and set the "debug"-ness=
 of
files.
