commit 3021cc06f84109c6e7a529318d690c520748f936

    Add rts/Linker support for more than 64k sections
    
    Since some ELF fields ran out of range to represent that many sections,
    they've been extended with magic numbers that indicate that the full
    value is stored in another field.
    
    This will be necessary for GHCi with -split-sections on ELF platforms
    that don't use GNU ld.
