I tried to lookup some more information about SHT_LLVM_ADDRSIG, but
couldn't really find much. There is this comment about it from the
binutils maintainers:
https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23817#c1

I would suggest following that and wait till the design is fixed before
trying to handle SHT_LLVM_ADDRSIG.

Cheers,

Mark
