Hi,

The section type has been changed to SHT_NOTE, however the section contents has not been changed to match the NOTE section format. This has caused issues with some of our tools and may affect others that use note sections. There is a description of the note section format here:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/817-1984/chapter6-18048/index.html

Can't the section type remain as SHT_PROGBITS, but remove any section flags (SHF_ALLOC) that may cause the section to be allocated to a loadable segment?
