I shouldn't have said "would be wrong" without qualifying.  The truth
is more like: Changing readelf to not show the non-alloc sections
involves changing include/elf/internal.h ELF_SECTION_IN_SEGMENT_1.  My
first attempt resulted in failures of ld-elf/maxpage5, ld-elf/note-1
and ld-elf/note-2.  At that point I decided I didn't want to spend
time on the problem, and it would be wrong to make a change there
without significant research.
