 The spec says the section is never to be stripped; it has that 
SHF_MIPS_NOSTRIP flag set for this purpose.  Given the section is meant to 
be used by run-time ELF loaders (both for static and dynamic binaries), 
that's quite a reasonable expectation.  Are there other (IRIX?) 
implementations that disagree with the spec in this respect?
