Hi Brian,

I believe that this is a gcc problem.  GCC generates ".section"
assembler directives to create these sections and it assigns the
attributes for the sections at the same time.

I think that you need to define a "named_section" function for the
gcc_target structure which will then add the necessary flags.  For an
example of this see arm_elf_asm_named_section() in
gcc/config/arm/arm.c.

Cheers
        Nick
