Did somebody accidentally
screw up some kernel code between 2.6.13 and 2.6.14? I think kernel elf loader doesn't handle binaries without .bss. Earlier binutils (<2.16) emits zero-sized .data/.bss and problem wasn't exposed. Modern binutils doesn't emit useless zero-sized .data/.bss sections and kernel kills these binaries. I had this problem at some time, too. This was when I started to redo the uClibc port to vax-linux, which I started with a hand-crafted assembly file. It also crashed upon execution, though I was sure the program was technically okay. However, I haven't looked up any paper or standard to verify either position. So I don't know for *sure* if it's legal to omit these (empty) sections.
