Hi Nathan,

The attached flag also sets SEC_LINKER_CREATED to force checking the
section name and restores the original behaviour.

Am I heading in the right direction?

Definitely. It seems slightly counter-intuitive to say that a section requested by the user is "linker created", so it would be worth adding a comment to the code explaining why the flag is used. But apart from that your solution seems fine to me.

Cheers
  Nick
