You could try using objcopy with its --add-section switch.  However
this may not do exactly what you want, since I assume from your choice
of section name you want the section to be recognised as the string
table and have its index set in the ELF header.  To do that I suspect
that you will have to write a program to manipulate the binary
directly.
