(now with the correct list)

Hi Simon, this assumes that the first section with a given address is
the one you want. This seems invalid since you can have multiple empty
sections at the same address. From the code it looks like this is used
to find the size of sections like .got. Is this really what the
dynamic linker does? Or it doesn't need to know the size at at all?

Cheers,
Rafael
