Bug 983941

Description of problem:
When there is stderr, stdout or any other nonnumeric literal set as the parameter for eu-addr2line it exits with return code 1 without any other complaint or additional explanation. If addr2line from binutils is used instead, it shows ??:0 as the output and exits with code 0.

On rhel6 and higher eu-addr2line works fine (??:0 as the output and exit code 0 for stderr|stdout and warning 'eu-addr2line: cannot find symbol...' for any other nonnumeric string).

If this behaviour is intended on rhel5, it would be IMHO nice to provide at least a message like 'eu-addr2line: cannot find symbol 'stderr''.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
elfutils-0.137-3.el5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

$ cat reproducer.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    printf("hallo universe\n");
    return 0;
}

$ gcc -g reproducer.c
$ eu-addr2line -e a.out stderr
$ echo $?
1


Actual results:
$ eu-addr2line -e a.out stderr
$ echo $?
1

Expected results:
$ eu-addr2line -e a.out stderr
??:0
$ echo $?
0


Additional info:
If I set any hexadecimal address as a parameter it works all right:

$ eu-addr2line -e a.out 0x400550
??:0
$ echo $?
0

The problem is only with stderr|stdout|any_other_nonnumeric_literal.
