[Bug binutils/6412] New: New binutils is incompatible with old object files

[hjl dot tools at gmail dot com]

Fix for PR 5900 makes binutils incompatible with old object files:

#  readelf -Sg foo.o
readelf: Error: section [96278] in group section [    4] > maximum section 
[96023]
readelf: Error: section [96277] in group section [    5] > maximum section 
[96023]
readelf: Error: section [96276] in group section [    7] > maximum section 
[96023]

I think binutils should issue a warning and support the old
object files.
