 DESCRIPTION
-       Run through @var{abfd} and return the one of the

-       @xref{Sections}, for more information.

-       This should only be used in special cases; the normal way to process
-       all sections of a given name is to use <<bfd_map_over_sections>> and
-       <<strcmp>> on the name (or better yet, base it on the section flags
-       or something else) for each section.
+       Return the most recently created section attached to @var{abfd}
