Hi,

Yes, and it's a hack.  This section isn't necessary, it merely is the 
easiest (?) way you found to force ld to create the PT_LOAD segment you 
want.  What about linker scripts that filter out all .note sections?  You 
_still_ want the phdrs to be mapped in that case.  You basically replace 
the current state (where the phdrs are mapped by accident) with a 
different state that still only works by accident.  It would be better to 
make this work by design not accident.


Ciao,
Michael.
