            Bug ID: 27478
           Summary: [readelf] warning about missing section in separate
                    debug info file
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.37 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

With current readelf, I'm running into a dwz testsuite failure due to this
warning:
...
$ ~/binutils/build/binutils/readelf --string-dump=.gnu_debugaltlink \
    tmp.multifile.sh/1
tmp.multifile.sh/1: Found separate debug info file: 3


String dump of section '.gnu_debugaltlink':
  [     0]  3
  [     4]  ^��[����;�0@���b�^M

readelf: Warning: Section '.gnu_debugaltlink' was not dumped because it does
not exist!
...

It took me a while to realize that the warning is for file 3.

This makes no sense to me.

I'd expect the following of debug info links to work _exclusively_ for dwarf
dumping, or for fetching dwarf information information to annotate other
sections.
