True, but unless the gcc unwind mechanism is changed to somehow avoid
the problem with link-once sections, we will still need some extra
support in binutils.  The idea I mentioned regarding putting the
.eh_frame info in link-once sections has one thing missing:  We need
some means of grouping sections together, so that if one section is
kept, all the sections in the group are kept.
