Thank you!

I can't review the patch in its entirety, but I noticed [1] that
bfd_get_next_section_id was a part of its public API, and it made its way into
Go [2] and Rust [3] bindings. On the other hand, neither binding seems to be
used by any open source projects, they have not been updated in 2 years, and Go
binding does not compile against recent libbfd with the error "bfd.h:35:2:
error: #error config.h must be included before this header" (PACKAGE and
PACKAGE_VERSION must be defined before inclusion of bfd.h, as in [4]), Rust
binding is not on crates,io, so in practice no one may care.
