 My modload/elf.c patch wouldn't help here because .data
 is already aligned as much as .text.
 
 After some investigation I'm pretty sure the linker is
 to blame. It does the overlap check too early. The
 platform dependent "finish" function recalculates all
 the sizes, so what gets checked is not the final result.
 
 Could you try the appended fix?
 (and discard the elf.c patch)
 
 best regards
 Matthias
