           Summary: readelf: Endless loop for broken ELF binary
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.21
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden


Commandline:

$ readelf -s godoc

Goes into an endless loop with the following output:

readelf: Error: Unable to seek to 0xYYY for version need aux (3)
...

Ideally, readelf would stop and tell it's a broken binary (see attachment).
