3 gold testcases...


I'm now down to three testcase failures with my sparc
32-bit target on gold.

I've analyzed each one, and they really aren't sparc target
bugs per-se, but rather testcases that need some tweaks of
some sort:

1) justsyms puts a string at 0x10000 hoping that will be
   out of the way and not in some mapped region of the
   executable image so that it will generate a segfault.

   This happens to be where the .text gets mapped so the
   segfault doesn't happen and the testcase fails.

   Program Headers:
     Type           Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
    ...
     LOAD           0x000000 0x00010000 0x00010000 0x0086c 0x0086c R E 0x2000
    ...
   Symbol table '.symtab' contains 53 entries:
      Num:    Value  Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
    ...
       52: 00010000    16 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS justsyms_string

2) script_test_2 fails because of the assertion:

   assert(reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(start_test_area_1 + 48 + 7 + 4)
	 == reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(start_data));

   It assumes that the string will only consume 7 bytes, but on
   Sparc strings are emitted by the compiler with an ".align 8"
   directive, and thus the size consumed by the string is rounded
   up to 8 bytes.

3) script_test_3 fails because the PT_LOAD segments created overlap
   within a page, and the kernel thus refuses to load the binary.

   Actually, if I run the program as:

	bash$ /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ./script_test_3

   it works, so I suppose the PT_LOAD mapping rules of the dynamic
   linker are more relaxed than that of the kernel.
