You mean:

/usr/bin/cal:     file format elf32-powerpc

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn

....

  1 .note.netbsd.ident 00000034  0180012c  0180012c  0000012c  2**2


no, my program does not have that section.

So I'm using NetBSD's crt0 but GCC's crt{begin,end} and crt{i,n}.  I 
guess the note was burried in one of the latter:

/usr/lib/crtbegin.o:     file format elf32-powerpc

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
...
  10 .note.netbsd.ident 00000034  00000000  00000000  00000238  2**2
                   CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA

yep....
