Committed.  This is what I wrote:

  /* These three sections have special ELF types.  They are neither
     SHT_PROGBITS nor SHT_NOBITS, so when changing sections we don't
     want to print a section type (@progbits or @nobits).  If someone
     is silly enough to emit code or TLS variables to one of these
     sections, then don't handle them specially.  */
