That doesn't seem like totally unreasonable behaviour for a NOBITS
section.  What were you expecting libelf to do in that case?

++      if (data != NULL && size != 0)
++        hashFunctionContextUpdateMC (&ctx, &chunk);

I suppose one could argue that allocating a chunk of zero-filled memory
of the right size and then hashing that would be a slightly better fix.
Whether it matters in practice or not would depend on what exactly is
going into this hash and what it's being used for.
