old debug symbols

My installation of valgrind has stopped to work, complaining that

valgrind:  Fatal error at startup: a function redirection
valgrind:  which is mandatory for this platform-tool combination
valgrind:  cannot be set up.  Details of the redirection are:

....

This usually mean that the debug symbols cannot be found. Indeed, while the DEBUGINFOD_URLS environment variable is correctly set, in the list of packages on the debuginfod server for arch, there are not debug symbols for my currently installed glibc library (version 2.38).

While I know that the arch is generally supported only for the latest versions, I find rather annoying that a program stops to work only because the distribution is not up-to-date.

Where can I find the old debug symbols? Is there a sort of archive for that, like the Arch Linux Archive?

Edit:
I have also tried to use DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.elfutils.org/", but still valgrind refuses to run.
