HJ's example comes from glibc. Since we are trying to avoid
unnecessarily breaking backwards compatibility, that means we can only
emit a warning here for now. So we have to go with the former solution
for now, which means continuing to create sections while warning about
it, and adding a comment to indicate a possible future cleanup which
makes this an error and allows us to free the string.
