This libbacktrace patch by Rui Ueyama fixes handling an uncompressed
block that starts at an aligned byte.  If the bits before the
uncompressed block ended at a byte boundary, libbacktrace accidentally
skipped the next byte, which is the first byte of the length of the
block.  Bootstrapped and ran libbacktrace tests on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.

            * elf.c (elf_zlib_inflate): Don't skip initial aligned byte in
            uncompressed block.
