Can you provide more details on what this last item means?

Do you mean elfutils is generally broken without the symtab section?
That seems unusual? Or do you mean the tests need it to be present?

Not striping the binary at all is likely to cause a significant size
increase for elfutils and we want to avoid that, particularly if its
only to fix tests. We will probably have to find a different solution
(e.g. second copy with the symtab section in the ptest package, added
to PATH in the runner?)

Cheers,
