+       * aoutx.h (set_section_contents): Allow an otherwise unrepresentable
+       read-only section that lies after .text and before .data to be
+       written into the output file and included in a_text.
+       (translate_to_native_sym_flags): If an otherwise unrepresentable
+       section was merged with .text, convert its symbols to N_TEXT
+       symbols.
+       * libaout.h (aout_section_merge_with_text_p): New macro.
