Hopefully this patch should solve steve's issue too.
Sure looks like it.
o Older binutils required explicit flags to mark a section allocatable and executable(AX). Newer binutils automatically mark a section AX if the name starts with .text.
More exactly, since 2.15 more section names are automatically recognised as being of a certain type; older binutils already did this for plain .text, for example. Just a nitpick, but perhaps it explains the problem better; I'm fine with the patch as-is.
