Darn, mutter, mumble. Pressed send a millisecond too soon. The above is
for COFF. We're using ELF, I presume, so we have:

   If no flags are specified, the default flags depend upon the section
name.  If the section name is not recognized, the default will be for
the section to have none of the above flags: it will not be allocated in
memory, nor writable, nor executable.  The section will contain data.

So if you're just using a naked:

   .section .update

try using:

   .section .update,"ax"

Assuming you want it executable as well.

If not, we'll still need to see the .section statement, to complete a
remote diagnosis.
