SECTION
        ELF backends

        BFD support for ELF formats is being worked on.
        Currently, the best supported back ends are for sparc and i386
        (running svr4 or Solaris 2).

        Documentation of the internals of the support code still needs
        to be written.  The code is changing quickly enough that we
        haven't bothered yet.

INTERNAL_FUNCTION
        bfd_elf_find_section

SYNOPSIS
        struct elf_internal_shdr *bfd_elf_find_section (bfd *abfd, char *name);

DESCRIPTION
        Helper functions for GDB to locate the string tables.
        Since BFD hides string tables from callers, GDB needs to use an
        internal hook to find them.  Sun's .stabstr, in particular,
        isn't even pointed to by the .stab section, so ordinary
        mechanisms wouldn't work to find it, even if we had some.

   of combined data+bss.

   To handle the above situation, this routine generates TWO bfd sections
   for the single program segment.  The first has the length specified by
   the file size of the segment, and the second has the length specified
   by the difference between the two sizes.  In effect, the segment is split
