[PATCH] readelf: Warn zero-sized relocation sections

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Guys,

  I am of a mind to allow this patch, given that one of readelf's
  main functions is to diagnose problems with ELF files.  If these
  warnings really are a problem for users however then we could
  provide an option to filter them out.

  That said, the patch as it currently exists causes lots of new
  failures in the linker testsuite for various targets.  Especially
  powerpc64-linux.  There may well be others, eg alpha-linux-gnu, 
  but my regression tester is still running.  The failures are from
  messages like this:

    readelf: Warning: Section '.rela.plt': zero-sized relocation section

  and

    readelf: Warning: Section '.rela.dyn': zero-sized relocation section

  So H.J. if you want to persist with this feature you will need to
  either fix the tests or the check in readelf.

Cheers
  Nick
