[Bug gas/12011] New: Incorrect handling of invalid ELF section flags.

[aburgess at broadcom dot com]

The following test was on an i386 target, but the bug is not specific, most of
the targets that use md_elf_section_letter are currently broken.

Using the test program (test.s):

        .section ".rodata", "z"
        .global foo
foo:
        .word 1

Then assemble with:

> gas -o test test.s
test.s: Assembler messages:
test.s:1: Warning: entity size for SHF_MERGE not specified
test.s:1: Warning: group name for SHF_GROUP not specified
test.s:1: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata
/projects/firepath_work/aburgess/GNU-binutils/build/gas/as-new: test: warning:
sh_link not set for section `.rodata'

The "z" section flag is invalid, and it didn't assemble, so I got what I
deserved :) but we're not stopping with the correct error message in the correct
place. 

I've got a patch for this and will append to this defect.
