I think the only > notes (at least in this case) are the Xen ones, and they're all included. I'm pretty certain we explicitly drop the weird GNU note that is automatically generated by gcc and specifies something informational. Basically into .note we include *(.note.*) but not *(.note). I don't think anything we are doing is wrong but ld gets confused easily in the corner cases. I'm modestly surprised we didn't have to mark our .note.xxx scions as ".section .note.xxx @note" or whatever the proper gas syntax is. Eric
