Maybe it does with gcc's for other architectures, especially ELF.

See....

gcc -Wall -pipe -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -nostdinc -I../mintlib -I..
-I../include -I../mintlib -I../stdlib -I$(<../includepath)
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_LIBC -D_REENTRANT -c ../mintlib/stksiz.c -o stksiz.o
./mintlib/stksiz.c:1: error: section attributes are not supported for
this target

it's not an option given the wide distribution of the 2.x binaries.
