Yes, it should definitely be changed, I am now looking at gdb
debugging gdb itself. One of the shlib loaded has 17 sections, and in
default_symfile_offests it allocates only 16 objfile->section_offsets,
because it uses SECT_OFF_MAX.
Just another data point, my Linux libc (glibc 2.1.3-ish) has 60
sections. Of course GDB won't try to load all of these (a fairly
large number of section is only present as part of a GNU-specific
link-time warning system), but section 34 does contain some debugging
info.
So I guess this should definitely be dynamically allocated.
