I am not sure what you mean.

The patch (I believe) actually solves a problem, not just suppresses
complaints: without it find_pc_section may find a "random" .text
section from foo.o, and things go downhill from there. With the patch,
foo.o is not inserted into the section map, so find_pc_section returns
correct .text section (from a.exe or foo.dylib), and everything else
works.
