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? <details><summary>Trac metadata</summary> | Trac field | Value | | ---------------------- | ------------ | | Version | 7.10.2 | | Type | Bug | | TypeOfFailure | OtherFailure | | Priority | normal | | Resolution | Unresolved | | Component | Driver | | Test case | | | Differential revisions | | | BlockedBy | | | Related | | | Blocking | | | CC | | | Operating system | | | Architecture | | </details> <!-- {"blocked_by":[],"summary":"Invalid ELF \"note\" section format","status":"New","operating_system":"","component":"Driver","related":[],"milestone":"","resolution":"Unresolved","owner":{"tag":"Unowned"},"version":"7.10.2","keywords":[],"differentials":[],"test_case":"","architecture":"","cc":[""],"type":"Bug","description":"GHC adds a section called \".debug-ghc-link-info\" to ELF binaries (see compiler/main/DriverPipeline.hs:1660).
