Bug 250793

Description of problem:

Gcc 4.2.x and above have a new switch, "-frecord-gcc-switches" which puts data
into a special section (.GCC.command.line). This data is pretty useful: the list
of compiler options uses to generate a given object file.

However, eu-readelf cannot deal with this.

instead, one must use something like:

objdump  --full-contents --section .GCC.command.line test.o
readelf -x4 foo.o
readelf -x .GCC.command.line try.o

Even these incantations are not as good as it could be: ideally, just the string
data would be dumped, not the (useless?) hex output.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

all.

How reproducible:

try compiling any .c or .cc file with -frecord-gcc-switches
