All version of ld I've been subjected to, when giving them conflicting
LMSa, have either (usually) silently disregarded them and just moved
the following section's LMA to whereever follows or (thank you -
preferred) complained.

Obviously if you give them overlapping LMAs they should COMPLAIN as
that operation is not physically possible. At least this is what I've
gotten to understand with regard to LMAs.
