Yup... it should probably be pointed out the reason the old kernel
worked was nothing but pure dumb luck. This was a GNU ld change which
needed to be undone for klibc. It's unfortunate that stock x86-64
binaries leave as little of a null pointer range as they do, but that's
life, unfortunately. The other alternative is to map klibc just below
the 2 GB point, which would also work, but the old way broke when the ld
change went in. As previously stated, klibc-1.4.35 or higher fixes this.
