Sure.

In the mean time, I'd like to add some details to the commit message
about how this is expected to work.  The AT_ENTRY value set here
will be read by the svr4_exec_displacement function, is that right?

Yes, here is the backtrace:

Hi Samuel,

I pushed this patch to master and gdb-8.1-branch.

Thanks,
