| Fixed in the kernel.
Is it really rational to keep adding cases for every new note that
gets discovered (to ignore them), just so that the kernel can print a
message (and otherwise ignore) notes that it hasn't yet been told
about ?
Does the message really accomplish anything, other than annoying people?
For what it's worth, I see that message from a binary, which readelf
decodes as ...
andromeda$ readelf -n ~/bin/cv
Notes at offset 0x0000010c with length 0x00000034:

NetBSD 0x00000007 Unknown note type: (0x00000002)

(I'm pretty that was compiled on at least 1.3, maybe even 1.6 NetBSD,
I have no idea what 0.0T was!)
Every time I run it, I get on the console (and in messages) ...
/home/kre/bin/cv: Unknown elf note type 1 (NetBSD tag): [namesz=8, descsz=0
name=01.01 ]
The program (continues to) work fine, including running this old 32 bit i386
binary on an amd64 system, with no particular 32 bit support (other
than /emul/linux32) added.
