   file, and internal tables we build for the main file (INCLUDER) may refer
   to data contained in INCLUDEE.  Therefore we want to keep INCLUDEE around
   at least as long as INCLUDER exists.

   Note that this is different than gdb_bfd_mark_parent because in our case
   lifetime tracking is based on the "parent" whereas in gdb_bfd_mark_parent
   lifetime tracking is based on the "child".  Plus in our case INCLUDEE could
   have multiple different "parents".  */

   The returned section data is associated with the BFD and will be
   destroyed when the BFD is destroyed.  There is no other way to free
