So does it actually work?  Can you boot the broken distros with this in
place?

Using sections is wrong; you should be going through the phdrs, and
looking for PT_DYNAMIC for relocation.

Does anyone expect the symbolic info to be correct?  It might be better
to just stomp it so nobody gets any ideas.

On the other hand, we don't want to break compatibility with anything...

Um, no.

This won't get relocated with one of the other relocations?  It's in the
text phdr.

This could probably do with setting the addr and length in if statement,
and make the memcmp and fixup common.
