Hi Mark,
thank you for the program, I'll use it to speed up the check.

I'm also going to verify how well .debug_info sections match the source
files included in debuginfo packages using `eu-readelf -winfo` data
(-wline checking would be too complicated for this script). I have
observed GDB displaying wrong source file lines when stepping through a
program several times, and I think such a check could discover some
issues.
