Hi Tucker,

  I have applied half of your patch.  During testing I found that setting
  the SEC_DEBUGGING flag causes binutils testsuite regressions for the FT32
  and MSP430 targets.  I am not entirely sure why, but I suspect that it
  is because these targets then start generating relocs to set values in
  the .debug_info and .debug_line sections, and these relocs are either 
  wrong, or not implemented properly.

  So I have applied the part that sets SEC_ELF_OCTETS, but not the part
  that sets SEC_ELF_DEBUGGING.

  One day, in my copious free time, I will investigate the SEC_DEBUGGING
  issue further. :-)

Cheers
  Nick
