Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot for your very well documented answer.

I am just a little confused by your last sentence.  In offsets,
in the debug_loc section, are 0..0xffffffff, but once we add
the base address, we get the strange empty range.  GDB treated
that range as empty, so were we correct? If we were, out of curiosity,
how would one get the LocList above?
