Comment 1 Jakub Bogusz 2006-08-26 10:49:53 UTC

It can be caused by ".plt" section, which in SPARC ELF32 files have 12-byte
entsize, but after the last entry there is single-instruction (4-byte) NOP
placed, so final section size is count*entsize+4.
elflint and libelf check strictly for sh_size % sh_entsize == 0.
I prepared patch for elflint:
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/SOURCES/elfutils-sparc.patch
and libelf check can be adjusted in similar way.

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2006-10/msg00101.html 
applying that patch to binutils and rebuilding elfutils seems to have fixed 
the problem.

I havent tested  that the debuginfo packages work  but they appear to be 
created better
