The documented behavior of setting output section's load memory address
in
SECTION :
{
}
has been changed, depending on the lma/vma of the previous output
section. The documented behavior is at least used by the x86-64
Linix kernel. There are 2 different usages of the documented
behavior. The one used by the x86-64 Linix kernel is fixed. But the
other one isn't. I believe that it is a regression if the document
isn't updated. That is the failure you saw.
