dwarf2 symtab bfd_section corrupt?

[Andrew Cagney]

Hello,

Both the symtab and psymtab objects contain the common entry `asection 
*bfd_section'.  One field of the BFD section is it's `struct bfd *owner' 
- the object file that contains the section.

The new dwarf2loc stuff extends the symtab object adding a `struct 
objfile *objfile' field.  An objfile contains the field `struct bfd *obfd'.

Hmm, looks like redundant information.  Why not just point the 
symtab/psymtab at the obj_section?

The attached patch adds an assert to check the theory out.  It fails. 
The bfd_section ends up pointing at the file "libc.so"!
