it is ok to remove PAGE_SIZE but i thought arm elf
binaries would depend on the 4k page size.. making it
less useful to support other page sizes, but if 32k
works in practice then i think musl should support it.
i guess the boundary of unaligned sections will be
mapped twice which is not a big issue except may be
you don't get relro support if the readonly relocs
are 4k aligned.
