Those tests are the most interesting I think.

The change in binfmt_elf.c is to unconditionally honor the p_vaddr
field of the elf_phdr struct.  If there's a binutils bug such that
this field sometimes contains garbage, that'd explain the problem.  I
don't see any immediately relevant changes in the kernel headers.
