For relocatable links the output .sframe section size may be wrong.
This can be observed when dumping the SFrame information from the x86-64
sframe-reloc-1 test:
Name Address Off Size
.sframe 0000000000000000 000110 00007f

When running the x86-64 test cross build on a big-endian system, such
as s390x, objdump and readelf fail to dump the SFrame information with
the following error message:
Error: SFrame decode failure: Buffer does not contain SFrame data.
This is because the following check in flip_sframe() fails, which gets
only invoked if the endianness of the SFrame data is different from the
host system one:
/* All FDEs and FREs must have been endian flipped by now. */
if ((j != ihp->sfh_num_fres) || (bytes_flipped != (buf_size - hdrsz)))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With:
j=8, ihp->sfh_num_fres=8, bytes_flipped=70, buf_size=127, hdrsz=28

size also for relocatable links.

Notes (jremus):
Hello Indu,
I ran into this while crafting a sample that shows the issue I see with
FDE sorting in relocatable links with multiple text sections. Please
consider to add to or merge with your "[RFC 0/4] Fix relocatable links
with SFrame section" series.
Maybe it would make sense to add a check that would catch this when
sframe_flip() is not invoked?
Thanks and regards,
Jens
