            Bug ID: 31021
           Summary: as on armv7 rejects @progbits
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.40
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gas
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jengelh at inai dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

The GNU info page for GAS from binutils-2.40 specifies in section 7.85
(".section NAME") that

>    The optional TYPE argument may contain one of the following
constants:
>
>‘@progbits’
>    section contains data

The armv7(hl)-elf-linux target however does not understand @progbits.

$ echo '.section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits' >x.s
$ arm-suse-linux-gnueabi-as x.s
x.s: Assembler messages:
x.s:1: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `,'
$ aarch64-suse-linux-as x.s
$

Instead, it seems one has to use %progbits. Turning that around, %progbits also
works on amd64 and aarch64, so ...
either the documentation is missing %progbits in the documentation, or the
armv7 target is missing recognition for the @progbits token.
