Are you sure that changing _bfd_elf_make_section_from_phdr is the right way
to fix gdb?

It is in a certain sense accurate to split the one segment into two
sections, a leading SEC_LOAD one and a trailing one without SEC_LOAD.

What does your change do to e.g. objcopy on a core file?


Thanks,
Roland
