Subject: [PATCH 4/4] i386: Specify section flags while creating new sections
Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2007 17:04:55 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070103113455.GI17546@in.ibm.com> (raw)




o Older binutils (older than 2.6.15) require explicit flags to be set
  for section. (if a section has been defined using "section" directive).
  Otherwise a section which should have been allocatable and executable
  (AX) will not have properties as per intention.

o I had put a patch in -mm which will break the things if used with
  older binutils. Hence this is the fix on top of that patch.
