I think that orthogonal to what this patch do and does not help in next case:

. = 0x0;
. -= 1;
. += 1;

After line 3 we know there was a error after moving location counter backward. But size of file should be fine (less than 4gb).
LLD will try to open file and mapping to create output, even knowing that we already have a error.
That is not clean behavior.

And for x64 case behavior is the same, and ">4GB" check is not applicable here.
