x86-64: LD default ELF section file offset == LMA ?

[Etienne Lorrain]

 Hello,

 I just have few assembly instructions in a 64 bits ELF file, and
this ELF file is 1114728 bytes...
 Here is what I do (PC is 32 bits Debian, crosscompile -m64):

etienne@cygne:~/projet/gujin$ cat hello_64bits.s
        .file   "hello_64bits.c"
#APP
                .text
        .code32
        .global _start
_start:
        mov     $0xB8000,%edi
        add     $640,%edi
        mov     $msg1,%esi
        mov     $0x17,%ah
        1:
        lodsb   %ds:(%esi),%al
        cmpb    $0,%al
        je      2f
        stosw   %ax,%es:(%edi)
        jmp     1b
        2:
        mov     $msg2,%esi
        1:
        lodsb   %ds:(%esi),%al
        cmpb    $0,%al
        je              .
        stosw   %ax,%es:(%edi)
        jmp     1b

#NO_APP
.globl msg1
        .section        .rodata
        .align 32
        .type   msg1, @object
        .size   msg1, 34
msg1:
        .string "Hello protected-mode text world! "
.globl msg2
        .data
        .align 32
        .type   msg2, @object
        .size   msg2, 35
msg2:
        .string "(ELF64 file) ... please reboot ..."

 Is that the intended behaviour?
