| |
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.
