Ah, I see.  It's true that overlapping sections are already filtered
out, but it is not guaranteed which ones, and in fact the .text from
a.exe is more likely to be discarded then the .text from (some) foo.o,
because the latter will generally have lower section start.

I don't believe that's true for committed source.
