Really truly? I think we have a _lot_ of declarations which omit the section qualifier altogether. How come they don't all break too?
According to the report I have. Perhaps a bogus section qualifier does more damage than an omitted one. I'll get gcc / linker version, but this could be a combination of user error, a strange toolchain, and perhaps a real bug somewhere.
(ARM (at least) in fact does require the section tagging on the declaration as well as the definition, but we've thus far only fixed that in a couple of places which were causing breakage).
Yes, I was surprised by this as well, and I'm still skeptical about this being the real cause. Still, this reportedly fixed the problem, and is certainly not a bad thing.
