Please tell me what requires these useless zero-sized .data/.bss sections?
Kernel design or something else? (e.g. some standard?)
Maybe H.J.Lu will know better as we are.

Hmm, it's strange. On my 2.6.14rc3-git6 + binutils-2.16.91.0.3
it doesn't work (vide -EFAULT). On 2.6.13 + binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2
it works fine (executable contains zero-sized .data + .bss sections).
(btw. fs/binfmt_elf.c are the same)

I think kernel elf loader doesn't handle binaries without .bss.
Earlier binutils (<2.16) emits zero-sized .data/.bss and problem
wasn't exposed. Modern binutils doesn't emit useless zero-sized
.data/.bss sections and kernel kills these binaries.
