Oops - sorry.  I have checked in a patch to fix this.

You may feel however that I have chosen the wrong fix.  The tests were 
expecting readelf to "there are no unwind sections in this file" whereas 
I changed it to the more accurate "readelf does not know how to decode 
unwind sections for this architecture".  Ie there *might* be unwind 
sections in the file, but readelf does not know what they look like (or 
their names) so it will not decode them.

Cheers
   Nick
