testcase to re-produce the issue

compile this source (specify proper path in the PATH_TO_EXECUTABLE constant and
run against bbb.exe. You will see offsets > 1000 which is simply wrong. bbb.exe
was built from main.cpp which has lines > 40. There are no lines with such
numbers displayed.

For more complicated binaries line numbers are random. The binary is too large
to upload it here to demonstate.

There is also a question. Why sections within BFD are initialised if and only
if bfd_check_format_matches(abfd, bfd_object, &matching) is called? This looks
like a hack.
