I have found this description of note section in almost every ELF file format document I have, including the System V gABI. The GNU binutils such as readelf expect sections of SHT_NOTE to be in this format and will try to process it as such.

marking these sections in linker script with a KEEP directive sounds like a much more appropriate fix.
