Yeah, that makes sense.

relocate the entry point address when used
This changes the entry point to be unrelocated in the objfile, and
instead applies the relocation when it is used.
2014-01-15 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* objfiles.c (entry_point_address_query): Relocate entry point
address.
(objfile_relocate1): Do not relocate entry point address.
* objfiles.h (struct entry_info) <entry_point>: Update comment.
<the_bfd_section_index>: New field.
* symfile.c (init_entry_point_info): Find the entry point's
section.
