I have now tried it on ia64, and it is getting worse.  They are using
R_IA64_SECREL32LS relocations in .debug_info, which is causing
bfd_perform_relocation to return bfd_reloc_outofrange, and
bfd_generic_get_relocated_section_contents is aborting on that.

I'll do that.

readelf does not use BFD at all, so it would have to reinvent the wheel
anyway.
