>Description:
It should be possible to merge "section" and "bfd_section" into a single obj_section pointer and (perhaphs) a `relocate' bit - saving ~2 bytes off every symbol.
A problem in the way of this is HP/UX which uses the constants 0, 1, 2, 3 as well known section indexes (when they definitly are not).
As the comment suggests, it should look up $TEXT$, et.al. and use that value.
