Yes, that is correct (I was trying to track down the eliminate dwarf2 dups
problem, and i had made that change in that tree by accident).

Well, here's the thing.
I was going to add it before submitting it, since it's not all that
difficult, but i noticed that the low_pc and high_pc attributes are always
based on the text section label as well.
Is this an error, or did i miss a section of code?
Once I saw that, i didn't see much point in doing it right away, since if
you had a function in a seperate place, it wouldn't work anyway.

In any case, i have it just about ready to go.

Right.

Well, a version of the new allocator i've got does, but nothing *anyone*
else has, uses it.
