So the offsets for DW_SECT_INFO, DW_SECT_TYPES and DW_SECT_ABBREV were
already taken into account when setting up a cu from a dwp.

With this patch __libdw_cu_str_off_base/str_offsets_base_off handles
DW_SECT_STR_OFFSETS which is used in dwarf_formstring and
dwarf_getmacros.

__libdw_cu_ranges_base handles DW_SECT_RNGLISTS, which is used by
dwarf_ranges. And __libdw_formptr has a special case for
DW_FORM_sec_offset for IDX_debug_ranges && version < 5 && unit_type ==
DW_UT_split_compile to also uses __libdw_cu_ranges_base.

__libdw_cu_locs_base handles DW_SECT_LOCLISTS which is used in
dwarf_getlocation through initial_offset. I do wonder why the special
case in __libdw_formptr isn't needed here too.

dwarf_getmacros handles DW_SECT_MACRO through get_offset_from. And when
the macros need to refer to the line table, it also handles
DW_SECT_LINE.

Don't we also need to handle DW_SECT_LINE in dwarf_getsrclines and
dwarf_next_lines when looking for DW_AT_stmt_list?

The code and tests look good. run-varlocs.sh seems good, which seems to
confirm DW_SECT_LOCLISTS is handled correctly (but why doesn't it need
a hack similar to ranges in __libdw_formptr?).

We might want to add a test for run-next-lines.sh and run-next-
files.sh?

Thanks,

Mark
