Hi Érico,

Sorry for the late review.

I don't really like this one. Currently readelf isn't multi-threaded,
but precisely this, processing of different section data, could in
theory be done in parallel. But it isn't, so for now assuming single-
threadedness is OK. If we make this really parallel, and don't revert
back to using qsort_r, a better solution would be to have (6!)
different sort_listptr compar callback variants.

That said, applied since it does look OK for now.

Cheers,

Mark
