__ehdr_start was used as the start of the elf header.
that's true even after prelinking does its offsets.

the new use of __ehdr_start is to mean the base address
by which local symbol vaddr needs to be offset to get
the runtime address. this use relies on __ehdr_start to
have 0 vaddr wihch is broken by prelinking that moves
everything to some offset.

in principle the elf object after prelinking is valid,
but since this is the ld.so we can say that we only
support the case when the elf header is at 0 vaddr.
