After having done a number of attribute tests for a few hours 
yesterday, I think minlibd has all the attribute support that it 
possibly can.
It's attribute.d is identical to the standard runtime file.

That will be absolutely awesome - and also a big breakthrough. :)
I will test and provide feedback as soon as I can.

I've added a comment to [Bug 172] explaining the importance of 
having the weak alias support as well. Of course, section is the 
most important, but weak alias is also widely used with exception 
vectors.

If attribute support for this is also implemented, I think 
there's no excuse anymore for using D on microcontrollers. ;)
