Hi Tom,

  OK, I have checked in a patch which should resolve this issue.

  The warning message was happening because readelf was trying to 
  dump the contents of the .gnu_debugaltlink section in the '3' file,
  which of course does not exist.  The patch adds a new option 
  (--process-links) which must now be used in order to explicitly 
  request that the other display options be applied to separate
  debuginfo files as well as the main file.  Without this option,
  only information from the main file will be displayed.  (The
  exception being debug sections, which will be dumped from both
  the main file and the separate debug info file, even if
  --process-links is not enabled.  This is because in most cases
  the debug sections are only present in either the main file or
  the separate debuginfo file, but not both).

Cheers
  Nick
