I wish there was a way to add these comments somehow in the test 
infrastructure.

We could leave this comment at least I think in the 
sframe-gc-sections-2b.t linker script fragment file.  WDYT ?

I think there is value in running this test with and wihout -r, and 
checking relas are as expected.  WDYT ?

Like you do in sframe-gc-sections-2b.d, I think we should explicitly 
check for the two specific SFrame FDEs.  The dump of the stack trace 
information for _start and bar differ only in function size.

$ 
/scratch/ibhagat/BINUTILS-GDB/binutils-gdb/objdir/ld/../binutils/readelf 
  --sframe tmpdir/sframe-gc-sections-2.o
Contents of the SFrame section .sframe:
   Header :

     Version: SFRAME_VERSION_3
     Flags: SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL
     CFA fixed RA offset: -8
     Num FDEs: 3
     Num FREs: 6

   Function Index :

     func idx [0]: pc = 0x0, size = 5 bytes
     STARTPC         CFA       FP        RA
     0000000000000000  sp+8      u         f

     func idx [1]: pc = 0x0, size = 6 bytes
     STARTPC         CFA       FP        RA
     0000000000000000  sp+8      u         f
     0000000000000001  sp+16     c-16      f
     0000000000000004  fp+16     c-16      f
     0000000000000005  sp+8      c-16      f

     func idx [2]: pc = 0x0, size = 1 bytes
     STARTPC         CFA       FP        RA
     0000000000000000  sp+8      u         f

So checking for the presence of first FDE *and* absence of third FDE 
makes the test more tight.  WDYT ?
