   Maybe the function styp_to_sec_flags should not set the default
   section flags to SEC_LOAD|SEC_ALLOC.

I'm scared to make that change.  I'm sure it would break on some
system in a way that would be difficult to fix.  How about the
following (untested) patch instead?  After installing this, do ``make
headers'' in the bfd object directory to rebuild libcoff.h.
