Yes, or set rawsize to zero, either of which would work.  My original
intent with the bfd_malloc_and_get_section logic was to support
re-reading of section contents from disk, where "rawsize" would stay as
the original on disk size, and "size" be that after relaxation.  The
idea didn't quite work out though, since multiple relax passes copy
"size" to "rawsize", which is useful to some of the backend relaxation
functions.
