Hello,

this patch fixes the linking of generated blocks on an ARM host.
No need to say this brings a very nice speedup :-)

Thanks, applied. Do you think it also apply to stable?

since it just 'or' some new bits with existing ones (which are
there due to internal relocation).

So I think, it should be applied to stable too.
