Roland's info:
	http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureBuildId

There is going to be GDB with the support in F8 - it loads the right executable
+ libraries just being given the core file. One of the test builds was:
	http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=76292
But it needs /usr/lib/debug/.build-id symlinks still not present in the current
F8test1/Rawhide, the symlinks should exist for F8test2 (test3?).

I see it should give there a warning if the symlink is missing to be able to:
	yum install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/c8/eba3e0886b625d58b803f6b924b4a76d3daeb2
		# installs the executable/library
	yum install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/c8/eba3e0886b625d58b803f6b924b4a76d3daeb2.debug
		# installs the associated -debuginfo package
