pahole is finally supporting .dwz style DWARF, I.e. DW_TAG_imported_unit + DW_FORM_GNU_alt_ref debug information:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/commit/?h=next

Still points to polish, but light at the end of the tunnel seems to be in sight.

Switching to work on diff codebases is challenging, this is a world with too many distractions, only piling up as you age and pile up more responsibilities.

I'll add an example to the commit log, based in the raison d'être: openvswitch.
