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
