SPU overlay headers

Overlay PT_LOAD headers are moved early for reasons explained by
comments in spu_elf_modify_segment_map.  This patch fixes cases that
shouldn't occur in sane SPU executables.

	* elf32-spu.c (spu_elf_modify_segment_map): Don't insert
	overlays before segment containing headers.
