 > How so? You are using your patched linker, and tor.exe would be without
 the .reloc section otherwise.

 That's actually a good test for the theory the bug was about: I ran the
 expert bundle and observed a working ASLR. Thus, we can be quite sure our
 linker is indeed used when compiling `tor` and related libraries.
