[Bug debug/18199] [4.0 Regression] AIX XCOFF debugging broken

[dje at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The GDB 5.3 error comes from the macro

#define ANOFFSET(secoff, whichone) \
   ((whichone == -1) \
    ? (internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, "Section index is uninitialized"), -1
) \
    : secoff->offsets[whichone])

The particular internal error occurs in the function

/* process one xcoff symbol. */

static struct symbol *
process_xcoff_symbol (register struct coff_symbol *cs, struct objfile *objfile)
{
...
        case C_STSYM:
...
          sym = define_symbol ((cs->c_value
                                + ANOFFSET (objfile->section_offsets,
                                            static_block_section)),
                               cs->c_name, 0, 0, objfile);

The internal error means that static_block_section no longer is properly
initialized after the recent dbxout.c changes.
