Summary0000182: ELF shared object without dynamic section considered dynamically linked
DescriptionVirtualBox creates a shared object:

    $ readelf -h VBoxDDR0.debug|grep Type
      Type: DYN (Shared object file)

which lacks dynamic section and therefore does not have any linked libraries, nor has interpreter:

    $ readelf -d VBoxDDR0.debug
    
    There is no dynamic section in this file.

Yet file started to recognize it as dynamically linked:

    $ file VBoxDDR0.debug
    VBoxDDR0.debug: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=52d7486748cc2a8387793008f2fdbdb1761f65e3, stripped

I guess it is a result of:
https://github.com/file/file/commit/028a15617a7f2c9172e3ac2d903af0f03010c8b4

Perhaps it would be better to judge if object is "dynamically linked" based on dynamic section existence?
