Description
The ELF reader/writer is missing some features:
- Dynamic Linking Table (
SHT_DYNAMIC) - Version Symbol Table (
SHT_VERSYM) - Version Needs Table (
SHT_VERNEED) - New relative relocation table RELR (
SHT_RELR)
These sections are currently loaded as ElfCustomSection but should have their own ElfXXXTable (e.g ElfDynamicLinkingTable, ElfVersionSymbolTable...)

Research direction
Start by locating the ELF reader and writer code that currently loads these sections as ElfCustomSection, then inspect existing ElfXXXTable implementations for the expected structure. Done means SHT_DYNAMIC, SHT_VERSYM, SHT_VERNEED, and SHT_RELR are read and written through dedicated table types rather than generic custom sections.
