gABI says:

Some section header table indexes are reserved in contexts where index size is
restricted, for example, the st_shndx member of a symbol table entry and the
e_shnum and e_shstrndx members of the ELF header. In such contexts, the reserved
values do not represent actual sections in the object file. Also in such
contexts, an escape value indicates that the actual section index is to be found
elsewhere, in a larger field.

That means we can't use from SHN_UNDEF and SHN_LORESERVE to SHN_HIRESERVE
anywhere else.
