            Bug ID: 21525
           Summary: Multiple .shstrtab sections since eu-readelf 0.166
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tools
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: paulo.cesar.pereira.de.andrade at gmail dot com
                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

I understand this is not really a bug, but it generates an
output more complex than it should be, and confuses tools like
patchelf.

  Example:

$ cat test.c
int main() { return 1; }

$ gcc -g test.c

$ eu-strip -g a.out

$ eu-readelf -S a.out | grep .shstrtab | wc -l

  The extra section appears useless at least on the
sense of a very simple test case.

  The issue started with this commit:
