What does objdump -h say about this file? IOW, what do you mean by
"does not seem to associate"?
GDB is supposed to handle this case correctly. However, we've also
pretty well established that the linker is wrong to emit such
relocations; if you have the option of using a different linker
version which does not do so, I recommend it.
