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

Fair enough. But sections aren't supported with Atari GCC 2.x or 4.x, so
it's not an option given the wide distribution of the 2.x binaries.
