.bss section marked as contents, load, alloc, data

Hi guys,

I am having a problem whereby all our elf files have the .bss section marked
as loadable:

10 .bss          000016a4  0010158c  0010158c  0000258c  2**4
                 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA

I ran objdump -h on all .o files being linked and all show:

  2 .bss          00000000  00000000  00000000  00000034  2**0
                  ALLOC

Which looks correct.

Something must be making the linker think that it is loadable... but I have
no idea what.

Any advice as to how to trace the problem would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nick
