Does ELF support -N?

   I am not sure if ELF supports -N. If not, the ELF functions in ld
   should ignore that switch.

>From the ld manual:

`-N'
     Set the text and data sections to be readable and writable.  Also,
     do not page-align the data segment.  If the output format supports
     Unix style magic numbers, mark the output as `OMAGIC'.

ELF can support this, except for the bit about OMAGIC.  It may not
work completely correctly, but it certainly could.
