Hi Alan,
SHN_XINDEX support doesn't work. I have a testcase to show it. The
problem is that binutils assumes the full symbol table is available
before all sections are processed. It only works without SHN_XINDEX
since SHT_REL/SHT_RELA sections will load SHT_SYMTAB. The problem
affects both bfd and readelf. I will see what I can do.
