It was a local built and install, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH was not set properly.
However, setting is correctly, the relocation are displayed like with readelf.
Will update the attachment soon.

So now it comes to that point I have feared, as it looks like the libdw just
performs "simple" relocations. Your comment and the ebl_reloc_simple_type()
call in libdwfl/relocate.c proofs that. Anyhow, do you plan to extend the
relocation code to support more complex relocations tool?

What needs to be done / is necessary for that?

I will check the module usage on .eh_frame and will have a try on including the
CFI in the .debug_frame.
Thanks.
