Thanks for the reply.
I removed the filter_overlapping_sections function in order not to 
remove the
overlapped sections. And do not use bsearch to find the correct section 
but using
a sequential search to find the section whose start address is nearest 
to pc passed to
find_pc_section. Using this way, find_pc_section can return the 
overlapped section,
and gdb can correctly disas.
But not sure whether this is a good way or not, because I think this is 
specific to my platform.

Thanks.
