Hi Nick,
	thanks for reading the patch; maybe there's a confusion: ARM sections 
may contain both code and data, ruled by the mapping symbols, so 
(according to the EABI) we don't care if the section happens to have the 
executable attribute.

I originally checked for the BFD section data flags, but the 'data-only' 
flag is not useful here.

	Daniel.
