I noticed that this commit:

commit b05efa39b47995db08c5537e4504271c8727702a
Author: Vsevolod Alekseyev <sevaa@sprynet.com>
Date:   Fri Nov 10 15:26:48 2023 +0000

    readelf..debug-dump=loc displays bogus base addresses
    
      PR 30880
      * dwarf.c (read_and_display_attr_value): Fix loclist handling. (display_loclists_list): Likewise.

... removes several hunks from display_gdb_index, causing readelf to be
incapable of reading v9 indices.

I think this was probably done in error.  However, I also could not find
this patch on the mailing list.  So, I wonder what's going in there.

I recommend reverting it.  However at the very least the regression
ought to be fixed.

thanks,
Tom
