That sounded like a great idea, but unfortunately, it's not available
from BFD. It's available for ELF files in the ELF-private headers, but
that seems nasty - nothing else in the patch is actually ELF-specific.
I believe the idea is that BFD sections don't necessarily come from a
file; for instance some of the "sections" in a core file's bfd are
synthesized from data in the notes section.
I've retested the patch and checked it in.
