[PATCH] [lld][ELF] Fix debug info handling.

[Shankar Easwaran]

Hi Nick,

The comparison would need to be done in the DefinedAtom though, if 
_contentType == typeCode and _sectionName == ".text" return 
sectionBasedOnContent.

Do you see any other advantage with sectionBasedOnContent ?

Thanks

Shankar Easwaran
