Thanks for working on this.  I agree with all of it except the
warnings.  Since there's no other working way to accomplish (d)
today, and I have a use case for that which won't go away, I don't
think it's appropriate to warn.

Note, if the program headers matched but the alignment was not page
aligned, that would be a different case: that seems worth warning
about.  I don't know what that would mean.  Is it a case you've
encountered?

Without the warnings, this is OK to check in.  If you want the
warnings, we should discuss it a little more.
