Nice DWARF expression :)
I really should push my elfutils libdw dwarfstrings patch again,
the above is somewhat hard to translate by hand.

Certainly looks so. Do you happen to have the test binary/script.
Would be good to turn that into a testcase. Apparently we never
saw a DW_OP_rot before. I see the runtime unwinder doesn't even
support it. So if it can also happen in CFI then we should also
add support there.
