The current usage of the PT_GNU_STACK segment is the flags field only. All other fields are ignored. The new segment ignores the flags field. Overloading the PT_GNU_STACK segment seems a good idea to me since it is totally backward and forward compatible.
That is what my proposal does. The only difference is I call the new segment PT_GNU_ATTRIBUTES. I don't mind we use a differrent name at all. The loader-accessible information belongs to the GNU attributes section and it is extendable.
Cheers Nick
