I think there are problems here: my test runs are failing.  E.g. when
I run GDB on gdb.c++/misc and run to main, I get a crash with a
backtrace starting with this:

#0  symfile_relocate_debug_section (abfd=0x82e4718, sectp=0x0, 
    buf=0x830e6f8 "x°\f@¬°\f@à°\f@\024±\f@H±\f@|±\f@°±\f@ä±\f@\030²\f@L²\f@\200²\f@´²\f@è²\f@\034³\f@P³\f@\204³\f@¸³\f@ì³\f@ ´\f@T´\f@\210´\f@¼´\f@ð´\f@$µ\f@Xµ\f@\214µ\f@Àµ\f@ôµ\f@(¶\f@\\¶\f@\220¶\f@Ķ\f@ø¶\f@,·\f@`·\f@\224·\f@È·\f@ü·\f@0¸\f@d¸\f@\230¸\f@̸\f@") at symfile.c:3594

I haven't looked at it at all closely; but dwarf2_read_section (and
hence symfile_relocate_debug_section) is getting passed a NULL
section from this part of dwarf2_build_psymtabs:

  if (dwarf_ranges_offset)
    dwarf_ranges_buffer = dwarf2_read_section (objfile,
					       dwarf_ranges_offset,
					       dwarf_ranges_size,
					       dwarf_ranges_section);
  else
    dwarf_ranges_buffer = NULL;

It's been long enough since I looked at this code that I have no idea
if a NULL section is allowed here or not.
