Thanks, pushed.

Yeah, sadly "dubious kludge" is how I would describe .z compressed
sections :)
This was the best I could come up with. Since we do support them and can
reliably detect them I think this is currently the best we can/must do.
A user of libdwfl that uses .z compressed section needs them unrelocated
to be able to decompress them. Do you have a better idea how to handle
them?
Cheers,
Mark
