dump_syms dead loop

[GoogleCodeExporter]

tools/linux/dump_syms dead loop

**maybe** because in common/linux/stabs_reader.cc
bool StabsReader::Process() {
  symbol_ = symbols_;
  while (symbol_ < symbols_end_) {
    if (symbol_->n_type == N_SO) {
      if (! ProcessCompilationUnit())
        return false;
// ---------- added begin -----------------
      else
        symbol_++;
// ---------- added end -----------------
    } else
      symbol_++;
  }
  return true;
}

first, I changed dump_syms Makefile, removed -m32
and execute ./dump_syms myapp*
then dead loop.

*myapp is build with -gstabs+

I think I hit this same problem. You're running on x86-64?

Jim: I guess this is your code now. Latest trunk builds on x86-64, but 
dump_syms hangs.
