To create a reliable test from it we have to commit in a compiled binary with the strange/incorrect debug info and then it will be a platform and architecture specific test what is also very hard to debug because you most likely can't recompile it with your own compiler. I am not sure we want to go down in this road.


You can test cases like this easily with unit tests and dependency injection.  Just make a mock interface that returns the exact values you need when queried for certain symbols or whatever.
