Right, so I tried this and I would expect the callchains to be inverted
too, so that when I expand say 'c' I would see that 'c' calls 'b' for
100% which calls 'a' for 100%.

Instead I get the regular callchains, expanding 'c' gives me main calls
it for 100%.

Adding -G (invert callchains) doesn't make it better, in that case, when
I expand 'c' we start at '__libc_start_main' instead of 'c'.

Is there anything I'm missing?
