What are the actual drawbacks? FWIW, this is in line with how it was done on i386: it is just stored at the beginning of .text. Xen does the same. Of course it seems more natural to store that in a note section this is not loaded, but after experimenting a lot, I am not sure it can be done, since ld really want to push notes at the end of the file. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus m...@netbsd.org
