PROBLEM: (83940) (PATCH ID: OSF520-042) ******** There are some circumstances in which the Spike post-link optimizer may delete the high instruction of a two-instruction pair, but fail to delete the associate low instruction. This will cause Spike to emit a runtime error similar to the following: FAULT: ../../../../../../src/usr/ccs/bin/spike/rel.cxx(4100): REL_CheckSectionRelocs: mismatched value sections for R_SPIKE_IMMED_GP_HI32 and R_SPIKE_IMMED_LO32 This can be worked around by passing the option "-nounreachable" to Spike. This patch prevents this error without needing to pass that option to Spike.
