I suppose so.

Compiling this:

int x   __attribute__((__aligned__(32)))
        __attribute__((__section__(".data.mostly_readonly")));


generates this:

	.file	"t.c"
	.version	"01.01"
gcc2_compiled.:
.globl x
	.section	.data.mostly_readonly,"aw",@progbits
	.align 32
	.type	 x,@object
	.size	 x,4
x:
	.zero	4
	.ident	"GCC: (GNU) 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-113)"

Seems OK?
