I've prepared a patch that uses a single long-running instance of
addr2line for each dso, instead of one per address request. It
dramatically speeds up e.g. `perf script` operation (I don't know if it
solves OP's problem but it could be relevant!).
Discussion on linux-perf-users mailing list:
As it turns out Ubuntu *did* used to link perf statically:

It's not just about installing different versions of linux-tools. libbfd
has no guarantee of a stable ABI/API, which makes it problematic for
external packages to link against them. Thus it is against policy to
link against libbfd in Ubuntu, and we simply cannot link perf against it
as long as
I am leaving a comment to the effect that my issue is not something for
which logs are relevant.
