Can explain a little bit what you mean (or expect) exactly?
For me the following does compile without getting
an error in a C source file:

asm(".section .text");

I'm using of course gas from binutils 2.8.1 but I can't
imagine that this doesn't work in 2.7.

I think, you should post here at least what you want
to do with that .section directives and what did not
work for you.
