Well, it could be used is for -r patch (relocatable output) which status is still unclear. Its description mentions that "As a side effect, in environments that support standard Unix magic numbers, this option also sets the output file’s magic number to "OMAGIC"".
Second possible use (I guessing here) is for writing self modifiying apps.
