+ * HP's IA-64 simulator Ski seems to confuse VMA and LMA in the ELF header.
+ * Instead of using LMA, Ski loads sections at their VMA addresses.
+ * This short program provides a workaround for this bug by simply
+ * swapping VMA and LMA in the ELF header of the executable.
+ *
+ * Note that after applying this workaround, you will be able to load
+ * ELF objects with different VMA and LMA in Ski, but the executable
+ * will become wronged for other potential uses.
