Description Tom Tromey 2023-12-10 15:30:42 UTC 
Currently gdb can write .debug_names but it will not
create .debug_aranges.  However, when reading, if .debug_aranges
does not exist, then gdb will not use the index.
This leads to the funny situation that gdb will create an index
that it will not use.  Also, this is a barrier to changing the
index cache to use .debug_names.

Doing this will require also updating gdb-add-index.
