Description:
MTR is truncating the path when accessing a core dump:

/data0/pushbuild/pb2-1/pb/bzr_mysql-6.0-rpl/177/mysql-6.0.10-alpha-pb177/sql/my: No such file or directory.
(no debugging symbols found)
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
Core was generated by `/data0/pushbuild/pb2-1/pb/bzr_mysql-6.0-rpl/177/mysql-6.0.10-alpha-pb177/sql/my'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.

The reason for this is that MTR relies on GDB to report the location of the binary that produced the core. GDB however will truncate the reported path and thus backtraces will not be properly displayed.

The solution is to use the location of the binary that was obtained by some other means. Since MTR started the server, it must surely know where the binary is :-)

      Bug #43074 MTR2 is not accessing core dumps when a path is too long
      Executable path is truncated in core
      If we see truncated path, try to guess using strings and grep

      Executable path is truncated in core
      If we see truncated path, try to guess using strings and grep
      If that doesn't work either, use known mysqld path
