Btw, I must say that this message is utterly unhelpful to users who,
like myself, are not DWARF-2 gurus: it sounds grave and scary, and yet
conveys no information whatsoever about user-level implications of the
problem, to say nothing about any possible ways to work around it.

In other words, this message should be a textbook example of how _not_
to design user interfaces.

Can we please replace the message text with something more useful and
slightly more self-explanatory?
