I am surprised it worked in the first place, since it shouldn't have
been able to compile. But OK. Now that it does compile it seems to just
segfault, since this is probably too naive a way to parse the .odp
section:

Have to ponder why that is too naive. Anybody with some powerpc elf .odp
section knowledge see immediately why?

Thanks,
