Huh, for some reason I thought the problem occurred when using
0xd00..., and didn't even check the real failure case of 0xc00...

bfd/elf.c is failing to properly set lma for sections due to:

      /* Look through the phdrs to see if we need to adjust the lma.
	 If all the p_paddr fields are zero, we ignore them, since
	 some ELF linkers produce such output.  */

Everything goes downhill from there.  :-(
