Still limitations. This is Fedora 18:

# rpm -qa | grep debug
glibc-debuginfo-common-2.16-34.fc18.x86_64
glibc-debuginfo-2.16-34.fc18.x86_64

# /tmp/perf/perf probe -V malloc -x /lib64/libc-2.16.so
Failed to find variables at malloc (0)

So probing on system libraries does not benefit from this patch.

Unrelated change.

Why copy it? With unwind.c and util/symbol-elf.c we now have 2 copies. 
How about exporting one of those?

More strdup's. This is library code and we need methods to free that 
memory as well.
