Description

This is hrev53693.

When attemting to load executable without section header (processed by sstrip for example) loading fails with B_NOT_AN_EXECUTABLE error. Section header is not required for normal program operation, it is only used for debugging and manipulations with executable file. Closed source programs would not use section header to pervent reverse engeneering. Some ELF linkers do not produce section header. Executables without section header is also smaller.
