On a dynamic ELF executable, the current kernel loader gives to the interpreter (in the AUXV vector) the AT_PHDR argument as : offset_of_phdr_in_file + first address.
It can be wrong for an executable where the program headers are not located in the first loaded segment. This patch corrects the behaviour.
