When we patch an alternate feature section, we have to adjust any relative branches that branch out of the alternate section. But currently we have a bug if we have a branch that points to past the last instruction of the alternate section, eg: FTR_SECTION_ELSE 1: b 2f or 6,6,6 2: ALT_FTR_SECTION_END(...) nop This will result in a relative branch at 1 with a target that equals the end of the alternate section. That branch does not need adjusting when it's moved to the non-else location. Currently we do adjust it, resulting in a branch that goes off into the link-time location of the else section, which is junk. The fix is to not patch branches that have a target == end of the alternate section.
