/* Here we handle the mach-o directives that are common to all architectures.

   Most significant are mach-o named sections and a variety of symbol type
   decorations.  */

/* Mach-O supports multiple, named segments each of which may contain
   multiple named sections.  Thus the concept of subsectioning is 
   handled by (say) having a __TEXT segment with appropriate flags from
   which subsections are generated like __text, __const etc.  
   
   The well-known as short-hand section switch directives like .text, .data
   etc. are mapped onto predefined segment/section pairs using facilites
   supplied by the mach-o port of bfd.
   
   A number of additional mach-o short-hand section switch directives are
   also defined.  */
