Need for an additional flag

[Michael Matz]

Hi,

I have a need for introducing something like a new flag to ELF sections.
It would only apply to SHF_MERGE|SHF_STRINGS.  There is space in the SHF_
namespace.  But I can't map it to any bfd SEC_xxx, because there're no
bits left.  Currently I'm thinking about reusing SEC_ROM for that flag,
because it doesn't seem to be handled in very many places, so special
casing SEC_STRING section with SEC_ROM attribute is feasible.

Of course that's ugly.  Is there a better way to communicate some ELF
section flag to the linker (this is where I actually need this)?


Ciao,
Michael.
