[Bug binutils/3182] New: objcopy doesn't update section group when a member is removed

[hjl at lucon dot org]

When objcopy removes a group member section, it removes the entry in
section group. Is this the correct thing to do?

address@hidden objcopy-1]$ cat group.s
        .section .text,"axG",%progbits,foo_group,comdat
        .global foo
foo:
        .word 0
        .section .data,"awG",%progbits,foo_group,comdat
        .global bar
bar:
        .word 0
        .section .debug_loc,"G",@progbits,foo_group,comdat
        .word 0
address@hidden objcopy-1]$ make
as   -o group.o group.s
./objcopy -R .debug_loc group.o x.o
readelf -g group.o

COMDAT group section [    1] `foo_group' [foo_group] contains 3 sections:
   [Index]    Name
   [    5]   .text
   [    6]   .data
   [    7]   .debug_loc
readelf -g x.o

   [    6]   .data
   [    0]
