Beware: you might get into the same situation that the Windows build
is today -- you will be unable to strip the resulting executable as
part of "make install-strip", because 'strip' doesn't know anything
about the section you add.
In any case, I thought the tendency was to stay away of tricks that
are too specific to binary formats, to avoid re-living the unexec
problem...
