   The second format is found on UnixWare, and probably most SVR4

       .section .sec1,"a",@progbits
   The quoted string may contain any combination of a, w, x, and
   represents the SHF_* flags to turn on for the section.  The string
   beginning with '@' can be progbits or nobits.  There should be
   other possibilities, but I don't know what they are.  In any case,
