Ld : _start address ?

[Sandeep Kumar]

Hello everyone,
Can somebody please tell me where does the loader takes the program
entry point address from. Its not e_entry of the elf header coz even
after overwriting it with some other valid address , the flow of
control doesn't changes.
Does the loader takes the address of _start from the symbol table ?
Then what in the case of stripped binaries.

Please help.
