You are the linker maintainer and too damn helpful and knowledgeable to
be called an armchair critic, sorry. :)
(... and I do agree with Rich that making the .ctf section loadable in
the longer run is a good idea, though even then perhaps we want to make
it loadable only on platforms with MMUs, perhaps? Non-MMU platforms
probably won't want to spend the address space on this, since for them
address space really *is* memory, and libctf will work whether .ctf is
loadable or not. Maybe, perhaps?)
