            Bug ID: 29737
           Summary: strip: section attributes to indicate strip or
                    persistent sections
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: guillermo.e.martinez at oracle dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The GNU strip tool supports remove debug sections by default, there are cases
where we want to specify by default a section be striped out or be persistent,
for example .CTF section is thinking to be present after strip invocation so it
could be mark as persistent, but note sections for example are not needed at
run-time, so it is a candidate to be stripped out.

So this bugzilla is for adding support in binutils tools to indicate when a
section should be stripped out or it must be persistent by default, using GNU
strip tool, adding/reusing  new section attributes.
