OK.  There is a potential future problem here if we ever have two
targets that use the same ELF header but have different
elf_backend_section_from_shdr functions.  BFD might try the wrong target
vector first and issue an inappropriate error message.  Note that the
place where we could check OSABI, elf_backend_object_p, is called
*after* bfd_section_from_shdr is called for all the sections, in order
to tweak the bfd sections.
