--- Comment #9 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> --- Yes, noload behaviour does not match the documentation. Worse, noload has evolved to mean different things depending on object file format. See https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2010-September/068723.html and other messages in that and following months with the subject "SEC_NEVER_LOAD cleanup". As far as the SHF_WRITE flag goes, that is of course the normal thing for bss style sections. I do understand why you might want a bss style .plt read-only (with ld.so flipping page protection bits to write and initialise the contents) so I'm not saying ld can't change, just explaining the current situation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
