Beats me.  But it probably means find_lowest_section doesn't work
on some platforms.  e.g. the SEC_THREAD_LOCAL thing but that problem
is much newer than this code.

Well, anything that just carries offsets forwards from the previous
section is suspect.  If the user gives us the addresses of .text and
.data, it'd be nice to move the containing segments appropriately.
