Exclude debuginfo files from "outside of ELF segments" warning

|

a8223e |
When GDB loads an ELF file, it will warn when a section is not located
|
|
|
a8223e |
in an ELF segment:
|
|
|
a8223e |
|
|
|
a8223e |
$ ./gdb -q -iex "set build-id-verbose 0" --ex "b systemctl_main" -ex "r" -batch --args systemctl kexec

This has feature has also been reported by various users, most notably
|
|
|
a8223e |
the Fedora-EOL'd bug 1553086.

Mark Wielaard explains the issue quite nicely in

The short of it is, the ELF program headers for debuginfo files are
|
|
|
a8223e |
not suited to this particular use case. Consequently, the warning
|
|
|
a8223e |
generated above really is useless and should be ignored.
|
|
|
a8223e |
|
|
|
a8223e |
This patch follows the same heuristic that BFD itself uses.
