Hi Jean,

Problem in not fixed yet in -rc3. So testing -rc3 will not help.

Segher had suggested to use .section command to specifically mark
.text.head section as AX (allocatable and executable) to solve the
problem.

Can you please try the attached patch to see if it solves your
problem.

Thanks
Vivek
