Right; my point was that .eh_frame also contains output from
gcc, and cfi_finish is called unconditionally.  But I see that
cfi_finish returns early if no CFI directives were used.

So, I guess targets that want to use the new CFI directives
should only emit pc-relative relocs in their other (i.e. GCC)
.eh_frame output.

Anyway, none of this seem to matter, since the writable bit is
or:ed with a section merge and (regarding flags setting)
.eh_frame in elf.sc is still put after data with no target
override.  Never mind.
