I've prepaered vmlinux.12 and vmlinux.14 based on the ...12 and ..14 recent
binutils versions so that a comparison can be made. The 12 crashed but 14
works fine. Here is the readelf -S you requested:
I checked and it looks like the readelf -S output is identical. Running cmp on
the vmlinux.12 and vmlinux.14 gives:

So all the same sections exist, but there is different data in just a few
places. I can uuencode and email the two vmlinux files if one of you wants to
look at them. The lines marked "varies" above seem to vary with each new
link. The other lines seem to be the key ones.
