Does this DTRT for binaries that are large enough to need
two-instruction jumps in their upper part?

>(klibc.so is currently

Since the .so is not a stable ABI, could even size that
to fit.

(That being said, klibc-using binaries tend to be small
enough that it doesn’t matter; even mksh only comes in
at around 180k statically(!) linked, on amd64.)

Otherwise, lgtm, but again with two nōn-UTF-8 chars.

Thanks,
