Additional testing revealed an off-by-one bug :-( Now fixed.

Good idea. Done.
This also implements ordering of sections (by objfile sequence, and by
section sequence within a single objfile), just to make deterministic
which sections are discarded.
Tested: Linux/x86_64 (no regressions), Fedora 11/i386 (no regressions)
Also tested Darwin/i386 (can't run a testsuite, but internal assert is
gone from the java test case by Christian Thalinger).
Also tested Solaris 10/i386, no assertions in objfiles.c [1], can't
really tell regressions because running GDB tests causes kernel panic
:(
Also tested Solaris 11/i386 (aka OpenSolaris), no regressions [2].
I think this is ready to commit :-)
Ulrich?
Thanks,
[1] There is an unrelated assert:
UNRESOLVED: gdb.mi/mi-var-cmd.exp: update all vars: i changed
-var-update *
n
-exec-step
~"Please answer y or n.\n"
~"../../src/gdb/thread.c:575: internal-error: is_thread_state:
Assertion `tp' failed.\nA problem internal to GDB has been
detected,\nfurther debugging may pro
ve unreliable.\nCreate a core file of GDB? "
[2] Also unrelated asserts:
