So you might have many overlapping ranges between different CUs in the latter case. We might need to be more vigilant with high/low pc values though and that was the reason that we previously ignored high/low pc values. If the stuff is missing, it should index the DWARF and generate the address ranges table manually right? What was the reasoning behind this change?

After fixing `SymbolFileDWARF::ParseCompileUnit()` we have the correct `CompileUnit` pointers in `DWARFUnit::m_user_data` for all CUs. Thus, the below `die->BuildAddressRangeTable(dwarf, this, debug_aranges);` now correctly constructs the ranges! Great, with this we can keep `check_hi_lo_pc=false`.

+1 to @clayborg's suggestion here that we either use AT_ranges, or build up the ranges by parsing the low/high pc's in subprograms. ISTM that it'd be acceptable to implement the fallback path as a follow-up, provided that doing so isn't a regression.

Could you leave an in-source comment explaining why this is commented out?
