Even a simple program like this fails in the esm version of nasm
```
DEFAULT REL
SECTION .text
global _start
_start:
mov rax, 60
mov rdi, 0
syscall
```
as test.nasm
```
$ nasm -f elf64 test.nasm
$ ld test.o -o test
$ ./test
```
this works on
```
$ apt-cache policy nasm
nasm:
Installed: 2.16.01-1build1
Candidate: 2.16.01-1build1
