Subject: [PATCH] align startOffset with p_align instead of pagesize for
compatibility
According to the ELF specification, the alignment of loadable process segments
should satisfy (p_vaddr mod pagesize) == (p_offset mod pagesize). However,
glibc earlier than 2.35 incorrectly requires that the LOAD segment be (p_vaddr
mod p_align) == (p_offset mod p_align), and will output the error message
"ELF load command address/offset not properly aligned" if this is not met.
Since there are many systems that use glibc earlier than 2.35, it is preferable
that newly added LOAD segments satisfy (p_vaddr mod p_align) == (p_offset mod
p_align) for compatibility.
