The problem I ran into a year or so ago when I tried to use section
groups for eh_frame was that in breaking up the section you ended up
with "sym1 - sym2" expressions with the symbols in different sections.
Worse, sym1 was in the current section and sym2 in another section,
so you needed some sort of negative pcrel reloc.
