- Subject: handling .gdb_index
As part of a Fedora 14 feature, I'm adding a new section to debug files.
The feature is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GdbIndex#Scope
... but the new section has mostly been discussed on the archer list and
on irc.
This patch lets the elfutils 'strip' utility put the new section into
the .debug file. It also corrects an existing bug I happened to notice
at the same time, which is that .debug_pubtypes was not considered a
debugging section.
It also still does not consider .debug_types to be a debugging section.
I am not certain that this is a bug, as my understanding is that
.debug_types is not handled by elfutils in general yet.
