So it turned out that it was really bugs in elfutils and binutils. For elfutils it now tracks locviews in .debug_loclists just like it did for .debug_loc: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2020q3/002900.html For binutils it actually tracked locviews correctly, but didn't handle DW_LLE_start_end and DW_LLE_start_length. Patch submitted: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2020-September/113510.html For tools that access the location lists (and locviews) through the DIE attributes this never was an issue. Patch retracted. Cheers, Mark
