this prevents the situation where the all-zero buffer is simply
too small.

BR 2611906: proper error message for start < origin
When a section other than .text has a start < origin, we would
segfault; fix that.
Furthermore, at bin_cleanup() we don't have usable file/line
information, so pass ERR_NOFILE to the error() function. Perhaps less
than ideal, but better than printing a null pointer.

BR 2593349: Move version message back to stdout
Checkin
4b9358928b114caaf34a69d6fdfd3b285b7a72cc changed the version
message from stdout to stderr, but:
a) doesn't motivate the change in the commit log;
b) bundles that with other changes;
c) is inconsistent with other programs;
d) was done by me and I can't remember any reason for it.
Hence conclude it was unintentional and therefore a bug. Since this
commit was done after 2.05.01 no stable release has been affected.
