--- Comment #15 from Pierre Muller <muller at sourceware dot org> ---
This problem might indeed have been introduced by
my patch to improve reading of export sections in DLLs.
The problem is that minimal symbols only recognizes
three symbol types in enum ms_type:
mst_text, mst_data and mst_unknown
but objfile header
itself has four special sections:
sect_index_text, sect_index_data, sect_index_bss and sect_index_rodata
See:
https://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/gdb/coff-pe-read.c?rev=1.19&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
The following patch seems to work for me,
but I am not sure it is correct...

In the hope this helps,
Pierre Muller
PS: Is it "normal" that the program generates
a SIGSEGV?
