-/// Patches an object file so that it doesn't contain a panic handler.
-///
-/// The panic handler defined in `asm/lib.rs` should never get linked to the final program.
-/// Unfortunately, Rust uses the same symbol for all panic handlers, and doesn't really like it if
-/// that ends up with multiple ones. It also demands that we define a panic handler for the inline
-/// assembly shim, even though none of that code should ever be able to panic. The result of this is
-/// that the supposedly unreachable panic handler does end up getting linked into the final program,
-/// unless it is built with optimizations enabled.
-///
-/// To fix that, we put the never-to-be-used panic handler into its own section via
-/// `#[link_section]`, and then use this function to delete that section.
