btw., what's the practical consequence of getting these section flags

serious happen? (they cannot get into any of the discarded sections, we
filter for them explicitly in the linker scripts)
The practical consequences are probably zero - *except* for getting the
"a" flag wrong, as !a sections will never be loaded.
Technically we should also specify @progbits or @nobits on sections,
however, I think @progbits is the default.
