So this is an improvement for 'perf ann otate --stdio', where, after I
added a (1 ||) to one of the paths you added a pr_err(), I got:

  [root@zoo ~]# perf annotate --stdio intel_idle
  no symbols found in /usr/bin/procmail, maybe install a debug package?
  Failed to open /tmp/perf-8683.map, continuing without symbols
  Failure running objdump  --start-address=0xffffffff81418290 
--stop-address=0xffffffff814183ae -l -d --no-show-ra
   Percent |      Source code & Disassembly of vmlinux for cycles:pp
  ------------------------------------------------------------------

But doesn't work at all for --tui (and probably --gtk), where it will
print the warning on the last line in the screen, that gets immediatelly
rewritten :-\

I am applying it, as it improves the --stdio case, and will fix this in
a way that works for all UIs, with some strerror() interface to convert
whatever error happened to a string that then gets used in whatever
UI is being used.

Thanks,
