            Bug ID: 29453
           Summary: [gdb/symtab] read.h:309: internal-error: set_length:
                    Assertion `m_length == length' failed
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW

There are 3 CUs:

  Compilation Unit @ offset 0x0:
  Compilation Unit @ offset 0xb:
  Compilation Unit @ offset 0x38:

but the CU list in .debug_names only contains one:
...
Contents of the .debug_names section:

Version 5
Augmentation string: 47 44 42 00  ("GDB")
CU table:
[  0] 0xb

TU table:
...

The length of the CU at 0xb is calculated in create_cus_from_debug_names_list
as if the CU at 0x38 is also a part of it.

Then when doing full expansion, the actual CU header is read, and we find out
the size is different:
...

(gdb) p length
