    No, it does get added, but the section is not added to
    any segment, so a) it ends up near the end of the address
    map instead of being first thing, and b) it won't be loaded
    at run time.

    Yeah.  Current stuff works with 2.15, which is three years
    old, but it doesn't hurt supporting older toolchains where
    possible.
