stripped binaries produce useless backtraces #514
Description
Symbolize falls back to file offsets for binaries that cannot be open for read. However, binaries that can be opened but have no symbols will fail symbolization completely even though we could use the file offsets in this case.
Failing completely produces unusable backtraces in chromium as the base address isn't known, e.g.

If we allow the fallback to file offsets in this case we'd instead get the following:

Fixing this would be a huge help to projects that must deploy stripped binaries due to space constraints (e.g. Chromecast, Chrome OS).
