Invalid ELF "note" section format
GHC adds a section called ".debug-ghc-link-info" to ELF binaries (see compiler/main/DriverPipeline.hs:1660). The section type is "note" (SHT_NOTE) but the format is not compliant with the ELF specification (see http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/elf/elf.pdf section 2 "Note section"). It makes tools reading sections with "note" type fail.
I think we should change the section type to "progbits". Is there any problem with that?
