+ /* GNU/Linux binaries do not need the extended PT_DYNAMIC section.
+ glibc's dynamic linker has traditionally derived the number of
+ tags from the p_filesz field, and sometimes allocates stack
+ arrays of that size. An overly-big PT_DYNAMIC segment can
+ be actively harmful in such cases. Making PT_DYNAMIC contain
+ other sections can also make life hard for the prelinker,

+ PT_LOAD segment. */
