Hi, I think the idea is that the kernel of MINIX 3 doesn't understand sections other than a few specific ones. How GCC knows this, I'm not sure.

For programs you might be able to compile and link on Linux and then strip off the headers and convert to a.out (and maybe not even that), but for a library you'll really have to avoid using scetions (other than the regular .text, .data and .bss).
