Agreed - but, the problem is that the BFD library is generating the warning 
message "allocated section `.note.gnu.property' not in segment" when asked 
to process .debug files on behalf of tools like gdb and objcopy.  

Presumably it would make sense to silence this warning when processing .debug
files.  Is there a reliable way to detect them ?  For example can such files
always be assumed to have a .text section with a SHT_NOBITS type ?
