Fix for PR 5900 makes binutils incompatible with old object files:
# readelf -Sg foo.o
readelf: Error: section [96278] in group section [ 4] > maximum section
[96023]
readelf: Error: section [96277] in group section [ 5] > maximum section
[96023]
readelf: Error: section [96276] in group section [ 7] > maximum section
[96023]
I think binutils should issue a warning and support the old
object files.
