bogus "ignoring changed section type" warning


Isn't this warning rather odd for code like this:

	.section	.init.rodata,"a"
	.section	.init.rodata,"a",@progbits

especially since with just the first directive, the section ends up being
progbits anyway (due to elf_fake_sections() deriving the type from the
section flags)? Wouldn't it hence make sense to guess an unspecified
section type from the flags right away, or alternatively allow modifying
SHT_NULL (in obj_elf_change_section()) by a later, more explicit
directive?

Thanks, Jan
