sometimes 'cmake' does a 'strip' during install of the library [which
can delete the debug symbols]. We had to track this down for one of
the cmake packages. I don't remember what we did to workarround it..

looks like superlu_dist installed by petsc is not stripped. Perhaps
you can try:

file /home/xiaoye/Dropbox/Codes/SuperLU/superlu_dist.git/lib/libsuperlu_dist.so.5.0.0
