But that doesn't make any sense, the kernel is not a regular binary that is run with an interpreter. The content seems to be some default value, this file doesn't even exist on my system: 00000000 2f 75 73 72 2f 6c 69 62 2f 6c 64 2e 73 6f 2e 31 |/usr/lib/ld.so.1| So the section serves no useful purpose and consumes a small amount of space. Also Alan Modra says we "likely could discard" it, so do so.
