CTR sections: All of the CRT (read only C runtime data) sections
appear at the start of the .rdata (read only runtime data)
section, in the following order. Don't know if it matters or not.
Not all sections are always present either.
.rdata: compiler generated read only data
.xdata: compiler generated exception handling table. (Most docs
seem to suggest that this section is now deprecated infavor
of the ydata section)
.edata: The exported names table.

1. Boundaries around various idata parts are used to initialize
some of the fields of the DataDirectory. In particular, the
magic for 2, 4 and 5 are known to be used. Some compilers
appear to generate magic section symbols for this purpose.
Where we can, we catch such symbols and use our own. This of
course is something less than a perfect strategy.
2. The table of contents is placed immediately after idata4.
The ".private.toc" sections are generated by the ppc bfd. The
.toc variable is generated by gas, and resolved here. It is
used to initialized function descriptors (and anyone else who
needs the address of the module's toc). The only thing
interesting about it at all? Most ppc instructions using it
have a 16bit displacement field. The convention for addressing
is to initialize the .toc value to 32K past the start of the
actual toc, and subtract 32K from all references, thus using
the entire 64K range. Naturally, the reloc code must agree
on this number or you get pretty stupid results.
