this is how it used to work until gcc-3.0.4 or so...
after upgrading to gcc-3.1 (debian package), the
code chunk mentioned before fails to compile with this complaint (only for the class constructor):

warning: 'section' attribute ignored
declaration does not declare anything
parse error before ')' token

however, this works:

class a {
  public:
    a() __attribute__((section("whatever")));
    __attribute__((section("whatever"))) void b(void);
};

shouldn't be theese two constructor declarations equivalent?
a() __attribute__((section("whatever")));
__attribute__((section("whatever"))) a();
>How-To-Repeat:
try to compile this:
class a {
  public:
    __attribute__((section("whatever"))) a();
};
