elfutils: Fix debugedit failure in grub
We've seeing occasional debugedit failures in grub during do_package which in turn are coming from section alignment failures from libelf. The failures occur when gold is used to link grub instead of ld.bfd. "readelf -e uhci.module" shows: Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al [12] .note.GNU-stack PROGBITS 00000000 0010ce 000000 00 0 0 1 in a good build and: Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al [24] .note.GNU-stack PROGBITS 00000000 009180 000000 00 0 0 0 in a bad build. The problem is the "Al" (alignment) change from 1 to 0. If its 0, debugedit complains. As far as I can tell, the alignment of a zero length section is not an issue and the check in libelf should check the section size and only give alignment errors if there is some data to align.

1For some binaries we can get a invalid section alignment, for example if
2sh_align = 1 and sh_addralign is 0. In the case of a zero size section like
3".note.GNU-stack", this is irrelavent as far as I can tell and we shouldn't
4error in this case.
