Relocs against note sections cause the x86_64 linker to abort

[Nick Clifton]

Hi H.J.

  I wonder if you would like to have a look at a recent Fedora bug
  report which involves the x86_64 linker generating a seg-fault when it
  is asked to produced a shared object from a file that contains
  relocations against a note section:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1552056

  The relocations in question are for the annobin data held in the
  .gnu.build.attributes section.

  It is easy enough to replace the abort() statement with an error
  message, but I wonder if this is the right thing to do.  Could the
  relocs be preserved instead ?  I know that they will not be processed
  by ld.so, but that should not matter as they are not needed by the
  running shared object.  But if they were preserved, then they could be
  evaluated by any tool that processes the note section as part of some
  kind of static analysis.

Cheers
  Nick
