Bug ID: 21525 Summary: Multiple .shstrtab sections since eu-readelf 0.166 Product: elfutils Version: unspecified Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: tools Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: paulo.cesar.pereira.de.andrade at gmail dot com CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org Target Milestone: --- I understand this is not really a bug, but it generates an output more complex than it should be, and confuses tools like patchelf. Example: $ cat test.c int main() { return 1; } $ gcc -g test.c $ eu-strip -g a.out $ eu-readelf -S a.out | grep .shstrtab | wc -l The extra section appears useless at least on the sense of a very simple test case.
