Re: ld maps sections without consider memory region?

Hi Masaki,

(Still I don't agree why PHDR is needed)

I have expected result on the test case I sent and some variations.
But the another ldscript used for my product generates
huge (over 3GB) elf executable with no warnings...
It was 500KB without PHDRS. There seems to have the another issue.

Please could you give the attached patch a try ? I think that it will solve the problem without requiring that you specify the program headers in your linker file.

Cheers
  Nick

PS. I am still running tests of my own on this patch, so if it throws up any problems I will let you know.
