These failures are present in the AArch64 little endian as well.
After giving a closer look at the issue, it doesn't look at a kernel
issue, but at how ptrace is invoked the gather registers: it uses
PTRACE_PEEKUSER whereas it not supported on AArch64 where the
PTRACE_GETREGSET ptrace request should be used.  I'm testing a patch
for that, it doesn't work so far, but we can now access the registers
and then an error occurs because no unwind information are found when
we're in _start.
