hum, is it possible the type == DSO_BINARY_TYPE__BUILD_ID_CACHE could get in here?

        for (i = 0; i < DSO_BINARY_TYPE__SYMTAB_CNT; i++) {
                struct symsrc *ss = &ss_[ss_pos];
                bool next_slot = false;

                enum dso_binary_type symtab_type = binary_type_symtab[i];

                if (!dso__is_compatible_symtab_type(dso, kmod, symtab_type))
                        continue;

I wonder wether we should set special type from compressed binaries (as of now),
or instead try to decompress anything that looks like it's compressed ;-)
it seems more to be more generic and could simplify the code..
