--- Comment #4 from Cary Coutant <ccoutant at gmail dot com> ---
Fixed on master. The actual fix was a bit more complicated, as we had to
account for updating the location counter within the specified region and
checking that the specified address is actually contained within the region.

As an aside, the original script would have worked fine with one simple change.
As written,

.data ALIGN(0x10000) :

the ALIGN() expression specifies the section start address, which gold took to
override the region specification. By writing this instead:

.data : ALIGN(0x10000)

the ALIGN() expression is an alignment property of the output section rather
than a section start address, and gold produces correct output even without the
fix.
