On IRC Doug made a note:
	Arguably the second is the better fix but it's still a hack as
	addrmaps are intended to handle discontiguous symtabs and this defeats
	that.

Where "the first fix" was:
	[RFA] Fix gdb segv in dw2_find_pc_sect_symtab
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg00958.html

I think the right way is to call dwarf2_record_block_ranges for
DW_AT_compilation_unit but I haven't tried to write such patch yet, is there
a problem?

Thanks,
