The idea would be to create additional function attributes.
I have not spent time thinking this through yet.

section_flags("flags")
section_type("type")
others....

so then

void x(int i) __attributes__((section("mysection"), section_flags("aw"), 
section_type("@progbits")) ;

or maybe extend the syntax of section

section(<name> [<section_flags>] [,<type>])
