Bug description:
  Recently retracing started failing in disco, that seems to be due to
  the binutils 2.32 update

  example

  $ gdb gnome-control-center
  ...
  Reading symbols from gnome-control-center...BFD: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2a/4367ded6c5ba5f464c762f1576874694053c71.debug: unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_aranges
  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
  (no debugging symbols found)...done.

  
  Rebuilding the package with binutils 2.31 installed fixes the issue. Googling for the warning lead to an arch bug pointing out that upstream commit as fixing the issue
