This will callback to the function pfn for each "section found" the meaning
of which depends on gnu extensions to mach-o:
If we find mach-o sections (with the segment name as specified) which also
contain: a 'sects' wrapper, an index, and a name table, we expand this into
as many sections as are specified in the index. In this case, there will
be a callback for each of these.
We will also allow an extension that permits long names (more than 16
characters) to be used with mach-o. In this case, the section name has
a specific format embedding an index into a name table, and the file must
contain such name table.

As a GNU extension to mach-o, when the caller specifies a segment name in
sobj->segment_name, all the sections passed will be output under a single
mach-o section header. The caller's sections are indexed within this
'wrapper' section by a table stored in a second mach-o section. Finally,
arbitrary length section names are permitted by the extension and these are
stored in a table in a third mach-o section.
Note that this is only likely to make any sense for the __GNU_LTO segment
at present.

is in the form __SEGMENT_NAME,__section_name as per Mach-O asm. */
