--- Comment #9 from Richard PALO <richard at netbsd dot org> ---
For a very simpistic test, I have an existing thunderbird libxul.so which, with
which the currently installed binutils readelf gives:
>address@hidden:/tmp/pkgsrc/devel/binutils/work/binutils-2.25.1/binutils$ 
>greadelf -s /opt/local/lib/thunderbird24/libxul.so >/dev/null
>readelf: Error: File contains multiple symtab shndx tables
>readelf: Error: File contains multiple symtab shndx tables

With that patched binutils, I don't get the same error:
>address@hidden:/tmp/pkgsrc/devel/binutils/work/binutils-2.25.1/binutils$ 
>./readelf -s /opt/local/lib/thunderbird24/libxul.so >/dev/null
>address@hidden:/tmp/pkgsrc/devel/binutils/work/binutils-2.25.1/binutils$

I'll have to leave to Rich to eventually test specific section handling.

cheers
