Yes, I have spent some time today looking over what needs to be done
to clean this up.
In reality even the section_offsets are allocated with the fixed size of
SECT_OFF_MAX:
For instance,
      pst->section_offsets = (struct section_offsets *)
	obstack_alloc (&objfile->psymbol_obstack, SIZEOF_SECTION_OFFSETS);

Where:

#define SIZEOF_SECTION_OFFSETS \
  (sizeof (struct section_offsets) \
   + sizeof (((struct section_offsets *) 0)->offsets) * (SECT_OFF_MAX-1))

So this is not so simple as it may seem. I'll see what I can do during
the coming week.
