Hi Peter,

> Would it be possible to get a warning added to readelf for this?

We added a warning for this last year. :-)  It will be in the 2.28 release, or
you could download the latest development sources and try for yourself.  You
should see:

  $ readelf --syms basm.o

Symbol table '.symtab' contains 7 entries:
   Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
     0: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT  UND 
     1: 0000000000000000     0 FILE    LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS file.asm
     2: 0000000000000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 
     3: 0000000000000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    2 
     4: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 message
     5: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 _start
     6: 000000000000000a     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT    2 bar
readelf: Warning: local symbol 6 found at index >= .symtab's sh_info value of 6

Cheers
  Nick
