Hello
I'm trying to debug a symbol file that has no '.text' section. Unlike 5.0
version, the new SECT_OFF_TEXT(objfile) macro calls (no-return) internal
error and prevent the read.
Should gdb work that way (requiring '.text' and '.data' sections)?
If not, can we consider the first sections flagged 'SEC_CODE'/'SEC_DATA' as
substitutes? Or maybe better have a default 0/1 values (like 5.0)? Both
should work in my case.
