That's what I mean by "should change based on DWARF version" - this patch, as-is, is insufficient (since it'd break parsing pre-standard split-DWARF).

Not sure what --verify could do about this - since the data isn't self-describing, bytes are bytes and these rules specify how to interpret those bytes. If that makes sense?
