This patch will obtain the section name for symbols that refer to a section. Prior to this patch the Name field for STT_SECTIONs was blank, now it is populated.
Before:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 6 entries: Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name 0: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND 1: 0000000000000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 1 2: 0000000000000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 3 3: 0000000000000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 4 4: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ 5: 0000000000000000 0 TLS GLOBAL DEFAULT UND sym
