It seems not be documented anywhere and all links I could google up refer to COFF binaries, with unexplained semantics as well. Is there a possibility to mark a "shared" section in ELF, so that OS's that need it can map the section as shared? I did try the invokation mentioned in the subject, it seems to have no effect on the binary. TIA, Pjotr Kourzanov
