So I checked your binary, and the only differences between working and
not-working are a) some section offsets in the file, and b) the load
address of the segment (0 vs. 0xc000...).

a) should be harmless, and b) likely is a binutils bug that got fixed.

What is the exact binutils version you used for the non-working?  Should
we test for it in our Makefile?  If we require 2.18, we can drop the 
tests
for 2.12 and 2.14 ;-)
