It's ld -r that resets F_EXEC and zeroes the entry address; there's no way
to find out what it was when unstrip is run.  Alex's patch to make it
0x80000 is fine for all Unix PC executables I've seen, though.

I never noticed the problem before because I never actually tried to execute
the output of unstrip; I only used it for adb'ing.
