This patch to the GCC 7 libbacktrace ignores compressed debug sections. If we don't, the DWARF reader reports an error. Since the GCC 7 libbacktrace does not support uncompressing the debug sections, ignoring them is the best approach (on trunk, we uncompress). This is for PR 80914. Bootstrapped and ran libbacktrace tests on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to GCC 7 branch.
