failed reading "Smallest x86 ELF Hello World"

Elfutils completely fails to read the file:

$ eu-readelf --version
eu-readelf (elfutils) 0.169
Copyright [...]
$ eu-readelf -a hello
eu-readelf: failed reading 'hello': invalid file descriptor

It's not clear that we should care, since that page even says it's "a
completely corrupted x86 ELF Binary that still runs."  But since it's
good enough for the kernel to run it, I'd hope for *something* from tools.

It also seems weird to get the message "invalid file descriptor", from
ELF_E_INVALID_FILE, which makes it sound like more like EBADF.  The file
descriptor itself is fine - it just doesn't like the ELF within.
(DWARF_E_INVALID_FILE's message is just "invalid file".)


FWIW, binutils readelf does better:

$ readelf --version
GNU readelf version 2.27-24.fc26

$ readelf -a hello
