Because section tag is empty here. There is no defined order since all sections just processed as orphans.
Also there is no sorting except by name anymore.
Address changed because there is more PT_LOADs after that sometimes.

That is expected change of this patch, though I think we want to discuss that. I just remember that for previous redesign there were review comments about that we probably want to make user to provide full layout if he/she needs the some exact order. Otherwise it can be changed.

I think FreeBSD script also provides the full layout. Do you have some thoughts about that ?
