This change breaks the .noinit section on avr which now gets set to PROGBTIS
because the section type is omitted. It should be NOBITS.

PR other/77609: Let the assembler choose ELF section types for miscellaneous
named sections

gcc/
PR other/77609
* varasm.c (default_section_type_flags): Set SECTION_NOTYPE for
any section for which we don't know a specific type it should have,
regardless of name.  Previously this was done only for the exact
names ".init_array", ".fini_array", and ".preinit_array".
(default_elf_asm_named_section): Add comment about
relationship with default_section_type_flags and SECTION_NOTYPE.
(get_section): Don't consider it a type conflict if one side has
SECTION_NOTYPE and the other doesn't, as long as neither has the
SECTION_BSS et al used in the default_section_type_flags logic.

(cherry picked from commit db7548a2771bbf34cf7430712af7ac670b429958)

Heh, I have a similar issue with the assember knowing better (and even emitting
a warning!) when emitting a .gnu.lto_.debug_info section marked as mergeable
strings.

Please send patches to gcc-patc...@gcc.gnu.org
