Make sure that sorting does not change section order
Symbol files may contain multiple sections with the same name.
Section addresses specified by add-symbol-file are assigned to the
corresponding BFD sections in addr_info_make_relative using sorted
indexes of both vectors. Since the sort algorithm is not inherently
stable, the comparison function uses sectindex to maintain the
original order. However, add_symbol_file_command uses zero for all
sections, so if the user specifies multiple sections with the same
name, they will be assigned randomly to symbol file sections with
the same name.
