            Bug ID: 26168
           Summary: Feature request: support .symtab .strtab and .shstrtab
                    as output section descriptions
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.35 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: i at maskray dot me
  Target Milestone: ---

Many other synthesized sections can be renamed or discarded, so it seems
natural to extend the ability to .symtab .strtab and .shstrtab

Use case 1: discard .symtab, .strtab (similar to --strip-all) or .shstrtab

SECTIONS {
  /DISCARD/ : { *(.symtab) *(.strtab) }
}

Use case 2: rename

SECTIONS
{
  .symtab2 : { *(.symtab) }
  .strtab2 : { *(.strtab) }
  .shstrtab2 : { *(.shstrtab) }
}
