Hmm, well I am not so sure, but if you have proof, please let me know.
My gut feeling (since I have not yet investigated) is that this is a
bug in readelf, in that it ought to be able to handle the unrelocated
debug entries, or whatever it is that is causing this problem.  So
really it is a feature or limitation of readelf, not a bug.  Of course
I could be completely wrong about this...

Since we are about to create a new branch, it seemed like a good idea
to have the binutils tests passing for as many platforms as possible,
even if we are papering over a problem.  I am sure that I can rely
upon you and others to make sure that this problem does not get
dropped after the release.

Cheers
