at runtime, on formats that support long section names at all; on
other formats it points to a stub that returns an error indication.
With input BFDs, the flag is set according to whether any long section
names are detected while reading the section headers. For a completely
new BFD, the flag is set to the default for the target format. This
information can be used by a client of the BFD library when deciding
what output format to generate, and means that a BFD that is opened
for read and subsequently converted to a writeable BFD and modified
in-place will retain whatever format it had on input.
If @code{COFF_LONG_SECTION_NAMES} is simply defined (blank), or is
defined to the value "1", then long section names are enabled by
