Yes, using yet another ELF section is another option to do that. I just
wasn't sure it was worth the effort for now, but if it is seen as
necessary, I can certainly go ahead and implement this.

I am at ELCE at the moment, so quite busy with talks, discussions...
and drinks. I'll get back to this when I get back from ELCE.

Thanks for your suggestion,

Thomas
