It looks there are something wrong around my toolchain.
p_memsz in the program header does not match with values in
the section header:

memsz in the second program header entry is 0x38488, but it should be
0x38480 (== 0x126a00 + 0x2c798 - 0x11ad18)
            bss start  bss size  data start 

I'll track this later.

According to the program header, the data segment seems loaded
to the different pages from text, but it is not page aligned.
(I don't know any bfd spec very well :-)
