Revised patch

Hi H.J.

  Thanks for the examples.  I was unaware of the vagaries of the x32
architecture.  This revised patch should work with second test in comment #5,
but it will not work with the test from comment #4.  The reason for that is
that the text segment address set in comment #4 is a 32-bit address, which
makes
it valid as far as this patch is concerned.  If instead the test used this
linker command:

./ld -Ttext-segment 0x800000000 -m elf32_x86_64 -o x x.o

then the patched code would issue an error message.

Is this version of the patch acceptable to you ?

Cheers
  Nick
