Here is one implementation of ELF sharable section proposal: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/generic-abi/browse_thread/thread/bca08f6560f61b0d
Several people have expressed interests. I post it here for comments. I used OS specific values. If we get consensus, I can change those values to generic range. H.J.
