Section can partially overlap with overlays ...
Yes, the same thing also is happening on Darwin; some discussion here:

The thing is: when the assumptions are violated, (AFAICT) find_pc_section
couldn't have worked correctly before my patch, except by accident.
What is the simplest way to test overlays?


If you can build a d10v or m32r toolchain, you can run the
gdb overlay tests against the simulator.  That is, I hope
they still work -- I haven't touched them in years...
