Subject: [PATCH] workaround for overlapping sections in binary
Problem: binary (typesize.bin) created from object file (typesize.o)
with 'objcopy -O binary ... '. But typesize.o has relocatable objects that all
copied with offset 0. This will lead to overlapping sections in binary.
By fortunate syscalls.pl check magic bytes and ring the bell.
This is naive workaround: skip .note.gnu.property section that overlap
.rodata section.
This not a bug of objcopy, https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27314

[klibc] Detect the sizes of various types, and make available to sysstub.ph.
This additional code effectively queries the C compiler for the sizes of
various types, and makes an associative array %typesize available to
sysstub.ph. This is currently not used, but it's expected that some
architectures, e.g. s390, will need this to determine which registers
go where, and how many registers are needed.
