Summary

The branch from _start to mpentry has to cross a large section of data;
an offset larger than can be specified with a 12-bit branch immediate.
Fix this by converting the branch to an unconditional jump. The gcc
assembler does this conversion silently but is not done automatically by
clang.

I would suggest adding a comment, since otherwise it looks like something that should be simplified.
