I used xrealloc to allocate loadAreas and textSections. It used to be an 
unchecked hard coded limit of 100 elements each. I figured that using 
libiberty was ok since it's already used by sid/component/cgen-cpu. 
That's where I got the Makefile.am changes.

It could be avoided by using realloc and checking for failure. I guess 
failure would have to result in an abort?
