The SuSE version of gcc produces a non-standard section named .comment.SUSE.OPTs, but the PE32+ handling in binutils can't really deal with any section to be placed at virtual address zero (and not needing to be loaded). Even if binutils did, at least the UEFI implementation in EDK 1.06 doesn't look at the section characteristics at all, and hence would attempt to load such a section, and fail or corrupt other data.
