You can find a description of the contents of the .gnu.attributes
section in the assembler manual:
http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.20/as/GNU-Object-Attributes.html
As for other sections, documentation on them is sparse. Ian Lance
Taylor has written a very informative series of blogs on linkers and
what they do. In particular you might like to look at:
http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/52
http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/54
Which contain descriptions of some of these extra sections.
Cheers
Nick
