Well, the real question is "what are the defaults"
Well, I guess my point was that we shouldn't rely on the defaults.
By default:
.bss is (aw,nobits).
.data is (aw,progbits).
.rodata is (a,progbits).
.text is (ax,progbits).
But what about something like ".init.data"?
I'd assume the defaults for unrecognized segments would have to be
something sane like (aw,progbits) (ie my patch shouldn't make any
difference), but where do we find that out?
The defaults are undocumented, and thus could change from one binutils
version to another. Experimentally, with
binutils-2.17.50.0.18-1.x86_64, a section named ".init.data" get
("",@progbits) as the default attributes.
