      When the core analyzer runs GDB, we aren't seeing GDB attempt to read from the mongod.debug separate debug symbol file.

      [2025/06/25 20:45:01.628] Reading symbols from /data/mci/046946f73b45ef04d01b3371c9817cd6/src/core-analyzer/install/dist-test/bin/mongod...
      [2025/06/25 20:45:01.628] (No debugging symbols found in /data/mci/046946f73b45ef04d01b3371c9817cd6/src/core-analyzer/install/dist-test/bin/mongod)
      [2025/06/25 20:45:01.628] Detected binary built with GCC: 14.2.0
      

      I suspect the issue is related to the recalc_debuglink() function either not running at all or not running as desired. Its purpose is to set the .gnu_debuglink section in the executable file to point at the .debug file which is one method for GDB to discover the location.
