One might need to take that into account.

They're two separate sections, but they're named - i.e. it's clear which one is text and which one is data. Since this is all internal to GDB, we can just define text to be the first segment.


Ah right, implement an xcoffread.c:xcoff_symfile_segments that takes that into account, and allow *_symfile_segments override per target if needed later.
