[patch] Fix gdb crash on some missing ELF debug info


Hi,

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196439

On Fedora Core 5:
	gdb /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/memcheck
	break _start_in_C
	run
segfaults as the file's debug info references location list while no
".debug_loc" section exists there.
	eu-readelf -w /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/memcheck
		DWARF section '.debug_info' at offset 0x14759c:
		...
		 [ 176d4]    subprogram
		...
		             name		  "_start_in_C"
		...
		             frame_base 	  location list [ 116d7]

Trivia complaint on the file coherency, no frame_info debugging available for
such functions.


Regards,
Jan Kratochvil
