8.1 gnu Object Attributes

The .gnu_attribute directive records an object attribute with vendor ‘gnu’.

Except for ‘Tag_compatibility’, which has both an integer and a string for its value, gnu attributes have a string value if the tag number is odd and an integer value if the tag number is even. The second bit (tag & 2 is set for architecture-independent attributes and clear for architecture-dependent ones.
