Disco - debug symbols not working since binutils 2.32

Hey there,

I'm sending that email as a FYI after having spent some time today
figuring out why a recent gnome-control-center/glib segfault in disco
was consistently giving failing-retrace-reports, it looks like gdb in
disco is now failing to load the debug symbols from packages which have
been built with the new binutils.

The output looks like that

'BFD:
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2a/4367ded6c5ba5f464c762f1576874694053c71.debug:
unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_aranges

warning: File
"/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2a/4367ded6c5ba5f464c762f1576874694053c71.debug"
has no build-id, file skipped'

I opened a bug about it
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/+bug/1815774

Cheers,
Sebastien Bacher
