Yes, much like the patch in your last post.
Playing with libjpeg, my understanding of the obj format seems wrong as how I patch things doesn't make a difference. I am ending up with segments over 64k that link fine but too many segments and experimenting with group, after reading about it on nasm.us hasn't helped. So these patches I posted didn't change behaviour, which might be a nasm regression as it seems it used to, but the group should put them in a common segment, though no luck with it in libjpeg
I'm more used to aout with this stuff.
