I can reproduce the problem on FSF binutils HEAD, on any target
(well, tested powerpc and x86_64).  Both strip and objcopy show
the same problem (not surprisingly); it seems they use the VMA
where they should use the LMA.

I tried to bisect this problem but that's just so painful with
CVS, and I can't seem to import the repo into git.

Please let me know if I can be any help.
