ELF: Strip section header in ELF objects
Section header isn't mandatory on ELF executable nor shared library. This patch adds a new linker option, -z nosectionheader, to omit ELF section header, a new objcopy and strip option, --strip-section-headers, to remove ELF section headers. bfd/ 2023-06-06 H.J.
