When reading a separate debug file, gdb tries to ensure the section
offsets for the separate debug file are the same as the section offsets
in the main file.  To do this, it matches sections -- but only sections
that are loadable (or allocatable, like I said, I forget).

I get the same error, because my separate debug file does not include
this section.

The section isn't needed in the separate debug file -- only in the
stripped file.  What is wrong here is the section flags.
