I meant something like this:
/* The while loop below was originally this:
while ((unsigned int) (info_ptr - dwarf_info_buffer)
((info_ptr - dwarf_info_buffer) % 4) < dwarf_info_size)
This seems to be trying to round info_ptr up to the next
four-byte boundary, but that's not what it actually did. If we
discover the problem the old code was really trying to address,
we can fix it properly. */
