Try first reading the build id, validating that it is an ELF file, etc.
Cheap as libelf will bail out as soon as the magic number check fails.

Useful when investigating debuginfo packaging problems like this one:

[root@emilia ~]# perf buildid-list -i /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux
77bb4ea591a602d455ace759a377c9adfff1aba3
[root@emilia ~]# perf buildid-list -k
