I do not think server-side retrace is feasible without split debuginfo <br>
packages. If you need to rebuild the package to get debugging information, <br>
as is currently the case on Arch, you have no way to ensure that the rebuild <br>
will use the exact same addresses as the version that produced the <br>
backtrace.<br>
<br>
Arch needs to provide split debuginfo like basically all other major <br>
distributions. There is no way around it.<br>
