Hi H.J.
> Why not use program property?
I can see a couple of potential objections:
* Separate debug info files do not (currently) contain any notes.
* It is harder for a tool to locate and parse the notes section
than to just examine the e_type field in the ELF header. Since
the point of this change is to allow ELF consumers to detect
non-ELF-conforming separate debug info files, allowing them to do
so easily would be a good idea.
* The GNU Property Notes are currently only supported on x86 targets.
Cheers
Nick
