bug#48907: Debug symbols file name discrepancies

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Hello,

While attempting to debug a crash in jami-qt, I've noticed that GDB
would fail to load the symbol tables of the shared libraries it uses,
for example qtdeclarative.

It seems that grafts are to blame.  Let's start by looking at the debug
files found for the qtdeclarative libQt5Qml.so.5 shared library:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix build qtdeclarative | xargs -I{} find -L {} -name *libQt5Qml.so.5*

So far so good.  The file hierarchy under the debug output matches the
actual shared library file name.  Next, let's verify which qtdeclarative
shared libraries jami-qt is dynamically linked against:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix build jami-qt | tail -1 | xargs -I{} ldd {}/bin/.jami-qt-real | grep 
qtdeclarative
        libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5 => 
/gnu/store/mjl02yma4r5xjark6d8pp5h2j0a2vccs-qtdeclarative-5.15.2/lib/libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5
 (0x00007fb9e38a8000)
        libQt5Quick.so.5 => 
/gnu/store/mjl02yma4r5xjark6d8pp5h2j0a2vccs-qtdeclarative-5.15.2/lib/libQt5Quick.so.5
 (0x00007fb9dba47000)
        libQt5QmlModels.so.5 => 
/gnu/store/mjl02yma4r5xjark6d8pp5h2j0a2vccs-qtdeclarative-5.15.2/lib/libQt5QmlModels.so.5
 (0x00007fb9db9c3000)
        libQt5Qml.so.5 => 
/gnu/store/mjl02yma4r5xjark6d8pp5h2j0a2vccs-qtdeclarative-5.15.2/lib/libQt5Qml.so.5
 (0x00007fb9dae4e000)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Oops!  The actual store file name of the libQt5Qml.so.5 known to jami-qt
is *not* the same as the one obtained earlier, which explains why GDB
doesn't find its symbols.  Without grafts, the first command gives:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix build --no-grafts qtdeclarative | xargs -I{} find -L {} -name 
*libQt5Qml.so.5*
/gnu/store/g1gxfbkyxilnx7s6mjdlj697y5n5wazn-qtdeclarative-5.15.2-debug/lib/debug/gnu/store/nvzvrr137qfqsn2875yrs9ilfd12wi96-qtdeclarative-5.15.2/lib/libQt5Qml.so.5.15.2.debug
/gnu/store/nvzvrr137qfqsn2875yrs9ilfd12wi96-qtdeclarative-5.15.2/lib/libQt5Qml.so.5
/gnu/store/nvzvrr137qfqsn2875yrs9ilfd12wi96-qtdeclarative-5.15.2/lib/libQt5Qml.so.5.15
/gnu/store/nvzvrr137qfqsn2875yrs9ilfd12wi96-qtdeclarative-5.15.2/lib/libQt5Qml.so.5.15.2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which still doesn't match the libraries jami-qt is linked with.

I'm out of ideas for now.  Would someone have a clue?

Thank you!
