[PATCH tip 4/5] perf_counter tools: PLT info is stripped in -debuginfo packages

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Sat Jul 11 2009 - 11:19:37 EST


So we need to get the richer .symtab from the debuginfo packages but the
PLT info from the original DSO where we have just the leaner .dynsym
symtab.

Example:
