[RFC] Correction for files with SBSS sections and no BSS sections

We have noted cases (especially on our Tru64 5.1 installations) in which
an executable contains an SBSS section, but no BSS section. This results in
the messages
gdb-internal-error: Section index is uninitialized
An internal GDB error was detected. This may make make further
debugging unreliable. Continue this debugging session? (y or n)
etc. I propose the following fix, but I'm not sure I understand all the
implications. Comments?
