I have looked into this a bit and it looks like a problem in
elfutils/libdw not being able to handle  DW_TAG_unspecified_type DIE
which is newly generated by assembler from binutils 2.40 release.
These DIEs are present in objects made out of assembly files
in glibc which are used during linking. So they also get into binaries
but libdw from elfutils is not able to handle them and thats why
we get this test failure. I have filed a bug for upstream elfutils [1]

We can wait for this to be resolved or exclude this test case for now
from ptests and move ahead. I am fine either way.
