Well, they are different ELF files so it is implied the resource section may be
different...  And from what I see this is purely a human thing and not
specifically needed by machines.  

I can't imagine this is a new situation and as such must ask how it was working
before?

The real question is...  Why is this labeled ".resource_table.ac_bin_process"
rather than simply ".resource_table"?
