As for now, llvm-objcopy renames only sections that are specified
explicitly in --rename-section, while GNU objcopy keeps names of
relocation sections in sync with their targets. For example:
> readelf -S test.o
...
[ 1] .foo PROGBITS
[ 2] .rela.foo RELA
> objcopy --rename-section .foo=.bar test.o gnu.o
> readelf -S gnu.o
...
[ 1] .bar PROGBITS
[ 2] .rela.bar RELA
> llvm-objcopy --rename-section .foo=.bar test.o llvm.o
> readelf -S llvm.o
...
[ 1] .bar PROGBITS
[ 2] .rela.foo RELA
This patch makes llvm-objcopy to match the behavior of GNU objcopy better.
