Sorry for taking soooo long to look at this, as I mentioned some time
ago I wasn't on the CC list, so it fell thru the cracks.

Srikar just mentioned that to me and by coincidence I was working on
fixing bugs on cross analysis, collecting perf.data files on a ppc64
system to run report on my workstation, a x86_64 machine.o

But if we do as in your patch we will miss looking for the .dynsym on
the build id cache (DSO__ORIG_BUILD_ID_CACHE):

[acme@emilia ~]$ cat want_symtab.c 
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	int origin, want_symtab;

	for (origin = 0, want_symtab = 1; origin < 5; ++origin) {
		printf("origin=%d, want_symtab=%d\n", origin,
want_symtab);
		if (origin == 4 && want_symtab) {
			want_symtab = 0;
			origin = 0;
			continue;
		}
	}
}
[acme@emilia ~]$ ./want_symtab 
origin=0, want_symtab=1
origin=1, want_symtab=1
origin=2, want_symtab=1
origin=3, want_symtab=1
origin=4, want_symtab=1
origin=1, want_symtab=0
origin=2, want_symtab=0
origin=3, want_symtab=0
origin=4, want_symtab=0
[acme@emilia ~]$

So I'm applying another patch I came up with that I'm attaching to this
message.

Please let me know if you guys are ok with it and if I can add a
Tested-by: you.

commit e988a8fbd20e5562399f802c69276aa42938e229
Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Mar 22 15:42:14 2011 -0300

    perf symbols: Look at .dymsym again if .symtab not found
    
    The original intent of the code was to repeat the search with
    want_symtab = 0. But as the code stands now, we never hit the "default"
    case of the switch statement. Which means we never repeat the search.

Tested and it works now.
