Patch implementing --oformat binary is here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D23769
I noticed that ld and gold has idfferent behavior:
gold uses LMA of PT_LOADs to find the destination file offset of data which it takes from segments.
I tried to play with AT() and looks GNU ld ignores that.

Patch implements ld behavior for now.
