From 0d8a9e12b6509cb2a79818f5f4062a0bee33edfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Make the segment base match pinned section address
ET_EXEC uses image base of 0x400000, but the build forces
section VMAs like .text = 0x10000. LLD now errors when any
section address is below the image base unless you explicitly
set the base. (Older LLD tolerated it.)
To fix this, set the image base to match forced section addresses
Fixes
| x86_64-yoe-linux-ld.lld: error: section '.text' address (0x10000) is smaller than image base (0x400000); specify --image-base
| x86_64-yoe-linux-ld.lld: error: section '.bss' address (0x12000) is smaller than image base (0x400000); specify --image-base
