Hi Nelson,

configure has tried to link a test program using these flags, but perhaps
that program was too simple.

Attached is a small tarball doing two such tests.  Can you please try to run
configure on your OpenBSD 5.1 i386 system and observe the results from
   checking section flags in a trivial program...
   checking section flags in a simple program...
where you should get 'yes' in the first case and hopefully 'no' in the
second case.  Next running make should yield the same two results for
sections test 1 and sections test 2.

Regards
Peter
