/*
 * 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.
