$ ar x /usr/lib/libdw.a
$ ls | head -10
$ file dwarf_addrdie.o
dwarf_addrdie.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

As I said in the other e-mail (private to Arnaldo), I could build
pahole & friends by compiling the individual files, then feeding them
together with the static libraries to the linker.  So that would indicate
the libraries and toolchain are fine, but maybe they don't provide all
the things that the build system expects.

Cheers,
