It just hit me. It's the offset calculation in reloc_location() which overflows: return (void *)elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset + (r->r_offset - sechdrs[section].sh_addr); E.g. for the first rodata r entry: r->r_offset < sechdrs[section].sh_addr and the expression in the parenthesis produces 0xFFFFFFE0 or something equally wise.
