The basic problem here is that bfd can't cope with load segments that don't have
  increasing file offset.

What's more the first load segment contains the program headers, which tricks
these lines in elf.c
          adjust = vma_page_aligned_bias (m->sections[0]->vma, off, align);
          off += adjust;
We ought to be using the phdr vma rather than m->sections[0]->vma in this case.
