first, it's not exactly what your patch is entirely about... your patch 
ensures that the newly .gnu_debuglink mapped file is present for symbols 
resolution... and the bogus CRC errors come from the fact that we have 
an ERR for that, were it should be a WARN... a user could have different 
versions of the debug info files
secondly, the correct fix will require a rewrite of the mapping 
algorithm itself, which is rather orthogonal to what you did
my reco would simply to downgrade the ERR to a WARN if you don't want to 
go into the full fix
A+
