Ah, you are sooo optimistic.....!!!!
Why don't I take a look. I'll let you know. I suspect those variables
are long gone but I am paranoid.
BTW, there is some more work to be done to clean that mess up completely.
1. Allocate dynamically the section_offsets stuff. I have a patch in
the works for that.
2. Make gdb stop using SECT_OFF_* completely. I haven't thought about this
one yet.
Any volunteer??? :-)
