* solib-svr4.c (bfd_lookup_symbol): New SECT_FLAGS argument.

(enable_break): Pass SEC_CODE as the SECT_FLAGS argument to
bfd_lookup_symbol, since we only want symbols in code sections.
(look_for_base): Pass zero as the SECT_FLAGS argument to
bfd_lookup_symbol, since we're not concerned about which section
the symbol is in.
