Description
PyOCD: 0.21.0
Mbed OS: 5.13.1
OS: MacOS 10.14.5
Compiler: GCC (works fine on AC6)
When debugging blinky, the following error occurs:
> ./pyocd gdbserver --target nrf52840 --elf "/Users/thegecko/Mbed Programs/mbed-os-example-blinky/BUILD/NRF52840_DK/GCC_ARM/mbed-os-example-blinky.elf"

When the elf file isn't specified, debugging works fine.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the provided nRF52840 blinky ELF and the gdbserver command. Start in pyocd/debug/elf/flash_reader.py, especially _build_regions(), and inspect how the ELF sections produce the IntervalTree input. Done means gdbserver can load this ELF without the null-interval exception while debugging still works without --elf.
