Actually, I'm not sure your change is correct.

How/why does an archive file have sections?

ie, that code should never have been executed to begin with because the
enclosing for loop should not have iterated at all for an archive file.

An archive does not have sections as far as I know -- it is mereely a
container for other object files.
