            Bug ID: 19383
           Summary: strip generates section names in wrong order
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.24
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fizixer at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

After running strip on an object file, the order of section names turns out
incorrect. 'Sections: offsets' before strip:

data: 512
text: 528
shstrtab: 576
symtab: 640
strtab: 816
rela.text: 864

section names in shstrtab: data, text, shstrtab, symtab, strtab, rela.text

After strip:

data: 64
text: 80
shstrtab: 119

section names in shstrtab: shstrtab, data, text

Did I discover a bug, or am I missing something?

I'm using GNU strip 2.24 (Ubuntu 14.04) on x86-64. Code is nasm hello world
program[1], compiled with nasm 2.10.09, ld 2.24 (but ld is irrelevant here
since I analyzed the nasm-generated object file only).

EDIT 1: readelf reports it correctly (in both cases) so I'm not sure what is
going on.
