            Bug ID: 22587
           Summary: Bogus readelf warning
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: rafael.espindola at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Relocations in non relocatable ELF files use virtual addresses, not section
offsets. Given that, lld currently produces .rela.plt sections with a sh_info
of 0.

When processing such a file readelf prints

readelf: Warning: [ 5]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section.

readelf special cases rela.dyn as the only section that is allowed to have a
sh_info of 0. It should probably allow it on any relocation section in ET_EXEC
and ET_DYN files.
