/*
* 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.
