BTW I can't find why ELF_STRING_LIMIT is only 256, it seems GAS supports
arbitrary lengths. I'd have to change my code if we ever set it too high (or
even unlimited) since I allocate the buffer on the stack.
See the comment for ELF_STRING_LIMIT in config/elfos.h. gas is not
the only ELF assembler.
I've seen it and thought that for non-GAS ELF platforms you should define
it to override elfos.h, I obviously misunderstood. So now I'm curious,
this limit is there dominating all platforms because of the worst
assembler? :-)

P.S. there is an obvious typo in the comment, STRING_LIMIT should be
ELF_STRING_LIMIT (I think I introduced the typo last year...)
