Probably, Jiri? Probably it'll be difficult to sort this out, as the
original for that file probably isn't available anymore and probably we
didn't had the opportunity to have already read its build-id to lookup
it in the ~/.debug/ cache... So probably we should notice that and skip
this, not considering it as an error?
