Hi Guys,

  I am planning on applying the attached patch, but I wondered if anyone
  had any comments or thoughts first.

  The patch adds a new gas directive: ".attach_to_group <name>" which
  can be used to attach the current section to a named group.  I need
  this functionality for the annobin plugin for gcc.  The plugin creates
  new note sections and it wants to place them into section groups with
  their associated code section.  (So the .annobin.text section is
  grouped with the .text section, the .annobin.text.hot section is
  grouped with the .text.hot section and so on).  The problem is that
  the compiler creates the .section directives for (most of) these code
  sections, and it does not add a group section to their declaration.
  So I need a way to retroactively add a section to a group.  Hence the
  new directive.

  Tested with a wide variety of different configurations and no
  problems.

  Thoughts ?

Cheers
  Nick
