gas supports several different forms for .section for ELF targets,
including:
.section NAME [, "FLAGS"[, @TYPE[,FLAG_SPECIFIC_ARGUMENTS]]]
and:
.section "NAME"[, #FLAGS...]
In several places we use a mix of these two forms:
.section NAME, #FLAGS...
A current development snapshot of binutils (2.40.50.20230611) treats
this mixed syntax as an error.

I verified there is no difference in the generated object files with my
current toolchain (GNU assembler version 2.38 (m68k-linux-gnu)
using BFD version (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.38).
Do you think it's worthwhile to fast-track this for v6.5, or is it fine to
queue this for v6.6?
The new version of binutils has been in Debian unstable for over a
month now. I think this should be fast-tracked.
OK, PR sent.
Thanks!
