> It was reasonable 20 years ago.
Normally PT_PHDR overlaps with the first PT_LOAD.
If you keep that, the flags on PT_PHDR don't matter (the first PT_LOAD will
have PF_X).
If you don't keep the overlap, you'll waste an entire page for 64-byte PT_PHDR.
Also, a lot of programs assume that the first PT_LOAD "covers" PT_PHDR and
starts with ElfW(Ehdr). It's not guaranteed, but it has been true for the last
20 years. You'll break all such programs.
