OK, so you cannot really check this through check_special_section because you need access to the dynamic section to check whether this is really is the special section we are looking for. And .dynamic is also nobits in a debuginfo file. So we cannot verify. I think we should at least also check that the section itself is NOBITS in that case. Cheers, Mark
