+ *
+ * For all arches except sparc, gcc emits the section directive for the
+ * following struct with a PROGBITS type. However, newer versions of binutils
+ * (after 2.16.90) require the section to be of NOTE type, to guarantee that the
+ * .note.ABI-tag section correctly ends up in the first page of the final
+ * executable.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately, there is no clean way to tell gcc to use another section type,
+ * so this C file (or the C file that includes it) must be compiled in multiple
+ * steps:
+ *
+ * - Compile the .c file to a .s file.
+ * - Edit the .s file to change the 'progbits' type to 'note', for the section
+ * directive that defines the .note.ABI-tag section.
+ * - Compile the .s file to an object file.
+ *
+ * These steps are done in the invididual Makefiles for each applicable arch.
