Patch with all the suggestions so far incorporated.
Tested on Linux/x86_64 with no regressions.

Here is what the complaint looks like for gdb.base/solib-overlap.exp
(if I turn complaints on):

  During symbol reading, unexpected overlap between (A) section
`.hash' from `/usr/local/google/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/solib-overlap-lib1-0x40000000.so'
[0x158, 0x19c) and (B) section `.hash' from
`/usr/local/google/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/solib-overlap-lib2-0x40000000.so'
[0x158, 0x19c). Will ignore section B.

Thanks,

     * objfiles.c (qsort_cmp): Remove asserts.
     (insert_section_p, filter_debuginfo_sections): New function.
     (filter_overlapping_sections): Likewise.
     (update_section_map): Adjust.
