I could argue it's a step backward for exposing ELF details to the
DWARF code. There's no reason AFAIK that .gdb_index and/or .debug_names
couldn't be made to work with COFF/PE for example.
But we can cross that bridge when we come to it. I've pushed
this in as is, except I removed the "code cleanup" from the
subject. :-)

Subject: [PATCH 3/9] Change dwarf2_initialize_objfile's return value
dwarf2_initialize_objfile was returning boolean whether it is psymtabs
or .gdb_index while now it needs to return also whether it is
.debug_names.
