Hi Alan,

: I think it is. Why should "ld -r" change section attributes?
Hmm, I agree that it shouldn't. But 'ld -r -N' should. (I am not
sure why anyone would ever want to combine these switches but you
never know). So what I am suggesting is that the SEC_READONLY
attribite of the text section should only be controlled by the
config.text_read_only flag, and that by default doing 'ld -r' should
not change this flag.
Cheers
Nick
