In the compiled compiled binutils-2.21 I get syscat.h ansidecl.h and
bfd.h and the libbfd.a static library in the /lib directory. ELF's
section struct has a referrence to SH_INFO. This is I believe where a
vendor puts information about his ELF file. COFF maybe different.

The sh_info field of an ELF section header has a different meaning for different section types (sh_type field). It does not have a vendor-specific meaning, except, of course, when using a vendor-specific section type.

Vendor specific information is normally put in a vendor specific note
section (type SHT_NOTE).

Oh Ok SHT_NOTE. I stand corrected.
