You said setting the text segment base address to non-0 means the load address has to be the one specified, due to the ELF type being forced to ET_EXEC by your linker; thus you *cannot* relocate it to any address. Linux *does not* relocate it, in fact, and ASLR is not done. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
