It's not really a fair comparison because on ELF targets the DWARF
sections can have their VMA set to 0 and so relocs aren't necessary. 
This isn't possible on PE which requires that the debug sections be laid
out with nonzero VMA even though they aren't marked ALLOC or LOAD, which
necessitated the .secrel32 (and now .secrel64 it seems) op.
