        <pre>This issue is similar to, but not the same as <a class="bz_bug_link

   title="NEW - Don't abort printing of dynamic table if string reference is invalid"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=40807">bug 40807</a>. For the following yaml
input, which contains a DT_STRTAB value pointing well outside the address
space, llvm-readobj aborts with "LLVM ERROR: Virtual address is not in any
segment".

Better would be to emit a regular error somewhere and not to attempt lookups.
This is what GNU readelf does:

readelf: Warning: Virtual address 0x2000000 not located in any PT_LOAD segment.
readelf: Error: Unable to determine the length of the dynamic string table

Dynamic section at offset 0x1f0 contains 4 entries:
  Tag        Type                         Name/Value
 0x0000000000000005 (STRTAB)             0x2000000
 0x000000000000000a (STRSZ)              10 (bytes)
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             0x1
 0x0000000000000000 (NULL)               0x0

(I don't know why it complains about being unable to determine the legnth of
the dynamic string table).</pre>
