 - Add .cfi_sections support.  (PR debug/40521)

 The .cfi_sections directive is needed to fix an annoying gcc but (see
 http://gcc.gnu.org/PR40521 ), where GCC 4.4+ when compiling without
 -fexceptions/-funwind-tables/-fasynchronous-unwind-tables generates
 .eh_frame
 section (allocatable, makes apps larger than needed) instead of
 .debug_frame (debug section that can be stripped, etc.).  While most of
 Fedora packages are
 unaffected by this bug as we compile stuff with -fasynchronous-unwind-
 tables,
 it matters for developers who will be using F12.

 I'd like to see these binutils in dist-f12 ASAP, so that gcc-4.4.2-1.fc12
 I'd like to build today or tomorrow already can have this bug fixed.

 No regressions in make check and when the new .cfi_sections directive
 isn't used, the change does nothing to the behavior of gas.
