patchelf: fix segfault for binaries linked by gold

Due to a bug in calculating adresses of modified program
headers patchelf breaks executables linked by Gold linker
causing them to segfault, e.g.
$ tmp/sysroots-components/x86_64/m4-native/usr/bin/m4 --help
Segmentation fault

This is reproducible only in some cases and only for executables
of ET_DYN type produced by Gold or by ld linked with pie.

This should be solved by fix-adjusting-startPage.patch that
fixes calculation logic.

+fix adjusting startPage
+
+startPage is adjusted unconditionally for all executables.
+This results in incorrect addresses assigned to INTERP and LOAD
+program headers, which breaks patched executable.
+
+Adjusting startPage variable only when startOffset > startPage
+should fix this.
+
+This change is related to the issue NixOS#10
