[Lazarus] CodeTools error when using 'section' keyword

[Michael Ring]

I did a little digging, Sven is right, this is only for embedded 
targets; I found the following in systems.pas:

        { all embedded systems }
        systems_embedded = [system_i386_embedded,system_m68k_embedded,
system_alpha_embedded,system_powerpc_embedded,
                            system_sparc_embedded,system_vm_embedded,
system_iA64_embedded,system_x86_64_embedded,
                            system_mips_embedded,system_arm_embedded,
system_powerpc64_embedded,system_avr_embedded,
system_jvm_java32,system_mipseb_embedded,system_mipsel_embedded];

        { all systems that allow section directive }
        systems_allow_section = systems_embedded;

I found the first occurence of this in the sources of fpc 2.4.0
