You can only have more than one debug_info section when
-feliminate-dwarf2-dups is used. This isn't a commonly used option, and
there may be a number of problems with it. This is allowed by DWARF3,
but not by DWARF2.
I see how your patch might help now. The debug info is 32-bits as I
mentioned earlier. The problem here is that pointers are 64-bits.
read_address uses addr_size, and hence is reading a 64-bit address when
it should be reading a 32-bit address, thus getting a number that is too
large. Your fix adding 64-bit debug support helps because in the 32-bit
case you replaced the read_address call with a read_4_bytes call, which
correctly reads the 32-bit value we want.
However, this is speculation, as I don't know how to reproduce the
failure. I don't understand why this hasn't come up before. Also, it
isn't clear what this has to do with the further information you have
provided about multiple debug_info sections.
