binutils ld setting the sh_addr field in sections

Hi all,

I was revisiting a bug on ARM where systemtap cannot probe kernel modules (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13022). The linker is setting the sh_addr field for some of the sections.  The values for the sh_addr fields look rather odd.  I saw this both with fedora ARM fc13 and fc14 binutils ( binutils-2.20.51.0.2-23.fc13.armv5tel and binutils-2.20.51.0.7-8.fc14.armv5tel). I was wondering if there was a reason that ld was setting the sh_addr field for the sections. I looked at the x86_64 and i386 files modules and didn't see the sh_addr set on those. Is ld on ARM doing the right thing here? It seems sh_addr seems to mess up the binary search systemtap uses to find out which section an address is in.
