Note that the PT_NOTEs segment is aliased to a part of one of the
PT_LOADs - ie, it points into the data segment. So making it -rwx would
either be ignored, or also require putting the bits into a new PT_LOAD
segment with 0 permissions, which is pretty pointless. I made it R_E
just so there was no permissions conflict, though the _E part could
probably go.
