        <pre>The following code results in an invalid section definition as clang escapes
the " characters in the section name

char __attribute__((section(".foo,\"awx\",@nobits#"))) buf[1];

Here's the assembly:

        .type   buf,@object             # @buf
        .section        ".foo,\"awx\",@nobits#","aw",@progbits
        .globl  buf
buf:
        .zero   1
        .size   buf, 1


GCC doesn't escape the quotes, and thus produces the desired result:

        .globl  buf
        .section        .foo,"awx",@nobits#,"aw",@progbits
        .type   buf, @object
        .size   buf, 1
buf:
        .zero   1</pre>
