[PATCH] x86, relocs: add manual debug mode

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Jan 21 2014 - 15:32:56 EST


From: Michael Davidson <md@xxxxxxxxxx>

Improve the debuggability of relocations output. When trying to compare
the output between different linkers, it's handy to be able to see the
section names in output.
