Hi H.J.

It cares because there may be information in the separate debug info files
that is relevant to the query that is being carried out.  Ie in this case
there may be dynamic symbols in the debug info files.

You can suppress this behaviour though.  Either by configuring the binutils
with --enable-follow-debug-links=no or by adding the -wN or
--debug-dump=no-follow-links options to the readelf command line.

Cheers
  Nick
