I'm not sure this is the best test. SEC_ALLOC can be set for data
sections as well; e.g. from 'objdump -h' on gdb:
13 .rodata 00dc0acc 0000000001064d80 0000000001064d80 00c64d80 2**7
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
Probably you want SEC_CODE or maybe SEC_ALLOC|SEC_CODE, though I don't
know if you can ever have code that isn't also 'alloc' (like, what would
be the point).
Then there's the issue that presumably you want to find the next code
section -- but if code and data are interleaved, find_pc_section won't
necessarily return this.
