dwarf2 symtab bfd_section corrupt?


Hello,

Both the symtab and psymtab objects contain the common entry `asection *bfd_section'. One field of the BFD section is it's `struct bfd *owner' - the object file that contains the section.

The new dwarf2loc stuff extends the symtab object adding a `struct objfile *objfile' field. An objfile contains the field `struct bfd *obfd'.

Hmm, looks like redundant information. Why not just point the symtab/psymtab at the obj_section?

The attached patch adds an assert to check the theory out. It fails. The bfd_section ends up pointing at the file "libc.so"!
