What if we assume that in a valid separate debug file, the only
sections that will be different will have been totally stripped from
either the before or after file?

IOW:

  i = 0 // index in main file
  j = 0 // index in separate file
  for each section in main file:
    if (section names match)
      good
    else if (section i's name is not present in separate file)
      i++, continue
    else if (section j's name is not present in separate file)
      j++, continue
    else
      complain that the two files do not match

?
