Hi Mark,
static bfd_boolean
elf32_arm_section_flags (flags, hdr)
flagword *flags;
Elf_Internal_Shdr *hdr;
{
if (hdr->sh_type == SHT_NOTE)
*flags |= SEC_LINK_ONCE | SEC_LINK_DUPLICATES_SAME_CONTENTS;
This is a snafu. It is left over from some old code which used to store
ARM attributes in a note section. It is no longer needed, so I am going
to check in the patch below to remove it.
Cheers
Nick
