I'm not exactly a DWARF maintainer, but since I wrote the code in that
file I assume I can approve your patch :-).  I'll do so if you'll add a

   gdb_assert (objfile->section_offsets);

just before the

   offset = ANOFFSET (...

to check the assumption you're making that the section offsets will be
available when we have DWARF2 CFI.

Oh, and change the PR first line of the ChangeLog into java/1322 such
that GNATS will notice your patch.  I believe it will ignore it if you
use gdb/1322.
