I added this to coffread.c and built a gdb snapshot (a first for me). Then I 
ran into one additional problem.

gdb aborts because 'bfd_get_sign_extended_vma' is defined only for elf. I 
changed that function to return 1 instead of returning an error. After I re-
built gdb, I was able to set a breakpoint in a sample program and step 
through the program.

So for gdb to support dwarf2 debugging, the coff symbol reading routined 
needs to read in the dwarf2 info when present and 'bfd_get_sign_extended_vma' 
needs work to support coff.
