GAS doesn't pass sections like GCC?

[Dan Fowell]

Good call Rick!  I found that my inline asm without the C function yielded
the following in my main object file (before linking):
  8 .vect         000000a0  00000000  00000000  00035eb0  2**0
                  CONTENTS, RELOC, READONLY

But when inside the C function I got:
  8 .vect         000000d4  00000000  00000000  00035f40  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, CODE

Does anyone know how to change the attributes of a section from within my
inline asm statement?  Does .section have any flags I can flip?
Here's that asm snippet again:
	__asm__ ("
		.global _isr
		_isr:
		.section .vect
		[Interrupt Handler]
		");

Also this asm statement is just floating in my C file.  Is that OK? Or is
there a better way besides having a separate asm file or putting it within a
C function?

thanks,
Dan

I don't have an answer, but try using the section header dumping flags
from the objdump command, to see what attributes might be different.
Perhaps the '-D' flag is sensitive to these attributes after all???
