+ * Extended Numbering
+ *
+ * If the real number of program header table entries is larger than
+ * or equal to PN_XNUM(0xffff), it is set to sh_info field of the
+ * section header at index 0, and PN_XNUM is set to e_phnum
+ * field. Otherwise, the section header at index 0 is zero
+ * initialized, if it exists.
+ *
+ * Specifications are available in:
+ *
+ * - Sun microsystems: Linker and Libraries.
+ *   Part No: 817-1984-17, September 2008.
