When parsing legacy map definitions, libbpf would error out when encountering an STT_SECTION symbol. This becomes a problem because some versions of binutils will produce SECTION symbols for every section when processing an ELF file, so BPF files run through 'strip' will end up with such symbols, making libbpf refuse to load them. There's not really any reason why erroring out is strictly necessary, so change libbpf to just ignore SECTION symbols when parsing the ELF.
